The majority of cardioembolic strokes in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)
are resulted from clot formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Current stroke risk …

Background: It is well known that the thrombus triggering stroke in patients with atrial
fibrillation (AF) mainly comes from the left atrial appendage (LAA). This study aims to …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries out a 5-fold increase in stroke risk, related to embolization of
thrombi clotting in left atrium (LA). Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the site with the highest …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia, that causes thrombus formation,
ordinarily in the left atrial appendage (LAA). The conventional metric of stroke risk …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are at high risk of stroke with∼ 90% clots
originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Clinical understanding of blood-flow based …

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a complex cardiovascular structure which can yield to
thrombi formation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The study of LAA fluid …

Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to arise from thrombus
formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Assessing the hemodynamics in LAA and left …

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. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common human arrhythmia. In
nonvalvular AF, around 99% of thrombi are formed in the left atrial appendage (LAA) …

During Atrial Fibrillation (AF) more than 90% of the left atrial thrombi responsible for
thromboembolic events originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a complex small sac …
