                 LA anatomy in EAM software and had a 3-month postablation
                 LGE-MRI for assessment of scar. Ablated area was marked
                 intraprocedurally using EAM software and quantified
                 retrospectively. Scarred area was quantified in 3-month
                 postablation LGE-MRI. The mean ablated area in EAM was
                 30.5 +/- 7.5\% of the LA endocardial surface and the mean
                 scarred area in LGE-MRI was 13.9 +/- 5.9\% (P < 0.001).

                 of the 3 independent operators. Complete pulmonary vein

                 observed in 87.8\% of the PVs in EAM as compared to only
                 37.4\% in LGE-MRI (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In AF
                 ablation, EAM significantly overestimates the resultant
                 scar as assessed with a follow-up LGE-MRI.",
