The blood flow velocity patterns within the left atrial appendage were studied by
transesophageal color flow imaging and pulsed Doppler in 84 patients. At the time of the …

The objectives of this retrospective, observer agreement study were to (a) test variability of
radiographic left atrial dimension (RLAD) and vertebral left atrial size (VLAS) measurements …

Background: Soft, variable ejection murmurs are common in Boxers and are associated with
increased left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) ejection velocities. Whether these murmurs are …

Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the relations between spontaneous echo
contrast, left atrial appendage blood flow velocity and thromboembolism. Background. Left …

Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) patterns from the left atrial appendage (LAA) were evaluated
by transesophageal echocardiography. Reproducible, characteristic triphasic or biphasic …

To examine changes in left atrial appendage flow velocity patterns in relation to left atrial
pressures during sinus rhythm, transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac …

Background: Atrial contractile dysfunction occurs in some species after conversion of atrial
fibrillation (AF) to normal sinus rhythm (NSR) but has not been reported in horses with …

Background Two‐dimensional (2D) and real‐time three‐dimensional (RT 3D)
echocardiography can be used to assess left atrial (LA) size, but their correlation in dogs …

Doppler measurement of left atrial appendage (LAA) blood velocity during transesophageal
echocardiography has been proposed as a method of assessing LAA contractile function …

Although the left atrial appendage has a quite unique structure, its function remains unclear.
To clarify the function of the left atrial appendage, changes in its anteroposterior, transverse …
