Clinical studies show that the left atrial appendage, a blind-ended structure that is attached
to the left atrium, may be the cause of 90% of atrial thrombi in atrial fibrillation (abnormal …

Background and objectives The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most common region for
thrombus formation in atrial fibrillation (AF). Morphological parameters such as shape, size …

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a complex and heterogeneous protruding structure of the
left atrium (LA). In atrial fibrillation patients, it is the location where 90% of the thrombi are …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia mainly affecting the elderly population, which
can lead to serious complications such as stroke, ischaemic attack and vascular dementia …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) disrupts movement of the left atrium (LA) and worsens the vital
prognosis by causing thromboembolism. Ultrasound Doppler measurement, phase-contrast …

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 …

In atrial fibrillation (AF), thromboembolic events can result from the particular conformation of
the left atrial appendage (LAA) bearing increased clot formation and accumulation. Current …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and life-threatening disease. For the patients with atrial
fibrillation, more than 90% of the thrombi are formed in the left atrial appendage (LAA) …

Hemodynamics play a vital role for the risk of thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA)
and left atrium (LA) for patients with atrial fibrillation. Accurate prediction of hemodynamics in …

Background A large majority of thrombi causing ischemic complications under atrial
fibrillation (AF) originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), an anatomical structure departing …
