Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for almost one third of all strokes, with the
left atrial appendage (LAA) being the primary thromboembolic source due to localised …

We aimed to correlate left atrial appendage (LAA) structure and function with the history of
stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We analyzed the …

Predicting left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in chronic nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
remains challenging despite the fact that several predictive models have been proposed to …

Although paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is an important cause of cardioembolic stroke, in
contrast to chronic AF patients, the anatomical features of the left atrial appendage (LAA) in …

The dysfunction of left atrial appendage (LAA) is prone to form thrombus when atrial
fibrillation (AF) sustained more than 48 h. Traditional 2D-TEE (transesophageal …

Left atrial appendage (LAA) is believed to be a common site of thrombus formation in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the commonly-applied stroke risk stratification …

Background The left atrial appendage (LAA) is thought to be the main source of thrombi in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to describe the LAA orifice …

Background The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a heart structure with known
prothrombogenic and pro-arrhythmogenic properties. Aim The aim of this study was to …

Background: The left atrium appendage (LAA) is a protruding cavity located in the left atrium
(LA), which is known to be associated with flow stagnation. This phenomenon, which occurs …

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the morphometrical features of left atrial
appendage (LAA) in patients with atrial fibrillation, subjected to left atrial appendage …
