          Background: Left atrial (LA) fibrosis is thought to be a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) and can be quantified by late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI). Fibrosis formation in...

    PMID: 30180597
  
  
          Recurrence analyses are typically performed on discretized time series after applying proper embeddings, delays, and thresholds. In our study of atrial electrograms, we found limitations to this approach when sequential...
