Atrial fibrillation (AF) underlies almost one third of all ischaemic strokes, with the left atrial
appendage (LAA) identified as the primary thromboembolic source. Current stroke risk …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for almost one third of all strokes, with the
left atrial appendage (LAA) being the primary thromboembolic source due to localised …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a significantly increased risk of stroke due to the
presence of three pro-thrombotic mechanisms known as Virchow's triad-blood stasis …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterised by an increased risk of pathological thrombus
formation due to a disruption of physiological haemostatic mechanisms that are better …

Abstract Purpose of Review Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for systemic embolism
and ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, AF-related strokes are associated with higher mortality …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults worldwide and represents an
important burden for patients, physicians, and healthcare systems. AF is associated with …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters left atrial (LA) hemodynamics, which can lead to thrombosis in
the left atrial appendage (LAA), systemic embolism and stroke. A personalized risk …

Extant clinical research has underscored that patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF)
bear an elevated risk for stroke, predominantly driven by the formation of thrombus in the left …

Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common human arrhythmia. In
nonvalvular AF, around 99% of thrombi are formed in the left atrial appendage (LAA) …

The current paradigm of stroke risk assessment and mitigation in patients with atrial
fibrillation (AF) is centred around clinical risk factors which, in the presence of AF, lead to …
