The impact of left atrium appendage morphology on stroke risk assessment in atrial fibrillation: a computational fluid dynamics study
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
blood stasis which causes thrombus formation. About 90% of the intracardiac thrombi in
patients with cardioembolic events originally develop in the LAA. Recent studies have been
focused on the association between LAA anatomical features and stroke risk and provided
conflicting results. Haemodynamic and fluid dynamic information on the LA and mostly on …
