RR-resolved 5D flow is a novel MRI technique that can acquire time-resolved 3D hemodynamics for varying RR-interval durations during atrial fibrillation (AF) (5D = 3D+cardiac time+RR-interval duration). The purpose of this study was to apply RR-resolved 5D flow MRI in a cohort of AF patients with and without a prior history of stroke. We saw significantly lowered left atrial peak velocities and trends toward higher atrial blood stasis in AF patients with previous stroke history vs no previous stroke history who underwent arrhythmia during MRI acquisition. RR-resolved 5D flow may be a promising approach for cardiovascular imaging in arrhythmic patients.
