In patients with AF, the presence of left atrial/left atrial appendage (LA/LAA) thrombus is
related to an increased risk of thromboembolic events. Anticoagulation therapy, either with …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher risk ofboth ischemic and
hemorrhagic stroke. This association appears to be partly independent from the higher …

Aims Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is often performed before catheter
ablation or cardioversion to rule out the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAT) in …

Comprehensive data on factors influencing left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus formation,
resolution and impact on survival are limited. In this single-center, retrospective study 7759 …

Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with high risk of ischemic stroke. The most
frequent thrombus location in AF is the left atrial appendage (LAA). Transthoracic …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFl) increase the risk of thromboembolism.
The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of left atrial thrombus (LAT) in AF/AFl in …

Abstract Background The CHADS 2 and CHA 2 DS 2-VASc scores are well-established
clinical scales to estimate the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However …

Aims The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of left atrial thrombus (LAT) on
transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter …

Left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) is a surrogate of thromboembolic events in patients
with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We aimed to investigate the risk factors for LAAT …

Background Stroke is predominately attributed to left atrial thrombus (LAT) in patients with
non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), however, its detection rate in real clinical practice has …
