Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most frequently encountered arrhythmias in
clinical practice, with stroke triggered by detachment of left atrial appendage thrombus …

Background Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) significantly increases the risk of stroke.
Although there is availability of prediction models, their ability to predict the risk of stroke in …

Background Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac
dysrhythmia and the most frequent cause of cardio-embolic stroke. It is well known that left …

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

Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors of left atrial (LA) or
left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and …

Backgrounds Predicting left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in non-valvular atrial
fibrillation (NVAF) patients need more precisely quantified risk models. In this study, we …

Background A recent study demonstrated that in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
(AF), a ratio of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to the left atrial volume index (LAVI) of< …

Background The CHA2DS2-VASc score is commonly used to guide anticoagulation
treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) but has a modest …

Objective We aimed to identify predictors of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus in patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to enhance the prognostic value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. The formation
of a left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus is a feared complication that results in increased …
