Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common human arrhythmia and it is considered
a marker of an increased risk of embolic stroke. It is known that 99% of AF-related thrombi …

In this work, we performed a computational image-based study of blood dynamics in the
whole left heart, both in a healthy subject and in a patient with mitral valve regurgitation. We …

Background: Atrial tachyarrhythmias are the main cause of atrial thrombosis, and are usually
in the left appendage. The prevalence and causes of endocavitarian thrombosis have not …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is frequently
present in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). Currently, there is a lack of real-world …

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the gold standard for assessing left atrial
appendage (LAA) mechanic and thrombosis (LAAT); however, TEE is a high-risk procedure …

Background and purpose Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) has been associated with an
increased risk of ischemic stroke. Older age, thicker mitral leaflets, and significant mitral …

The current study assessed the effect of mitral regurgitation (MR) on thrombotic risk in
nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF). AF carries a thrombotic risk related to left atrial blood …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries a thrombotic risk related to blood stasis in the left
atrium. In patients with rheumatic valve disease and AF, the presence of severe mitral …

Modern science shows how much humans are alike, with 99.9% of genome of any 2
individuals being identical. The homogeneity in human organ's structure and function is not …

In this work we performed a computational image-based study of blood dynamics in the
