Model of the LA and PVs in RAO and PA projection for quantification of LA fibrosis. Data are given as median (IQR) or number (n) and percentage (%) of patients. Anatomical landmark definitions: MA12, MA at 12 o’clock; MA4, MA at 4 o’clock; MA7, MA at 7 o’clock; MA11, MA at 11 o’clock; LS12, LS PV at 12 o’clock; RS12, RS PV at 12 o’clock; LI6, LI PV at 6 o’clock, and RI6, RI PV at 6 o’clock. Definition of surface regions as area enclosed by: AW = MA12, MA11, LS12, RS12; PW = LS12, RS12, LI6, RI6; LW = LI6, LS12, MA4, MA12; LA SPT = MA11, MA7, RI6, RS12; IW = LI6, RI6, MA7, MA4.

AW, anterior wall; IQR, interquartile range; IW, inferior wall; LA, left atrium; LI, left inferior; LS, left superior; LW, lateral wall; MA, mitral annulus; PA, posterior–anterior; PV, pulmonary vein; PW, posterior wall; RAO, right anterior oblique; RI, right inferior; RS, right superior; SD, standard deviation; SPT, septum.
