In this work, we present the application of high pass GRAPPA (hp-GRAPPA) to speed up high resolution delayed enhancement imaging of the left atrium. Preliminary results indicate that this image reconstruction technique can reduce acquisition time with minimal loss in image quality or diagnostic properties of the image.
