weighted measurements were superior to T2-weighted contrast imaging for quantifying both lipid-rich and fibrous areas of the plaque [4], which was in accordancewith former studies of human atherosclerotic plaques [25–27].
Sample text:```The electrode locations, acquired with a post-implantation CT were projected on the T1weighted individual anatomy scan (Hermes et al. 2010).```
Sample intent: background
Sample text:```Our results confi rm previous studies that reached the same conclusion (Boushey et al 1994; Vermeulen et al 2000; Till et al 2005; Marcucci et al 2005).```

AF = Atrial fibrillation
LAA = Left atrial appendage
LAA eV = LAA emptying flow velocity
LAD = Left atrial dimension

We defined patients who had no histories of AF and no documented AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as the sinus rhythm group, patients who had histories of AF before admission and/or continuously documented AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as having chronic AF, and patients who had AF at admission and recovered to normal sinus rhythm during hospitalization and/or showed sinus rhythm at admission and documented transient AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as having paroxysmal AF.```
