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 …

During Atrial Fibrillation (AF) more than 90% of the left atrial thrombi responsible for
thromboembolic events originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a complex small sac …

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a complex and heterogeneous protruding structure of the
left atrium (LA). In atrial fibrillation patients, it is the location where 90% of the thrombi are …

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) …

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 …

Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to arise from thrombus
formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Assessing the hemodynamics in LAA and left …

Aims To assess the relation between left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology and
echocardiographic flow pattern of the LAA by means of two-and three-dimensional …

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 …

Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can provide invaluable
insight into the interaction of left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology, hemodynamics, and …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia mainly affecting the elderly population, which
can lead to serious complications such as stroke, ischaemic attack and vascular dementia …
