Extensive atrial fibrosis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and atrial fibrillation  Elena Costanza dal Piaz, MD, Giulia Casagranda, MD, Daniele Ravanelli, PhD, Massimiliano Marini, MD, FHRS, CCDS, CEPS, Aldo Valentini, PhD, Maurizio Del Greco, MD, FHRS  HeartRhythm Case Reports  Volume 1, Issue 4, Pages 206-208 (July 2015) DOI: 10.1016/j.hrcr.2015.02.014 Copyright © 2015 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Two-dimensional slice from the delayed enhancement–magnetic resonance imaging scan shows massive delayed enhancement in the anterior (A) and posterior (B) walls of the left atrium. An electroanatomic map shows large patches of low bipolar voltage (<0.05 mV) in the anterior wall and septum (C), interspersed with electrically abnormal tissue (0.0 5 mV < bipolar voltage <1 mV) in the posterior wall and roof (D).
