Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and rapid
electrical activity in the atria, leading to ineffective contraction and poor blood flow. More …

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 …

Disruptions to left atrial (LA) blood flow, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), can
lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and an increased risk of systemic …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia, forming thrombi mostly in the
left atrial appendage (LAA). However, the relation between LAA morphology, blood patterns …

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Atrial myopathy, including
fibrosis, is associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke, but the mechanisms …

Left atrial appendage occlusion devices (LAAO) are a feasible alternative for non-valvular
atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at high risk of thromboembolic stroke and contraindication to …

Stroke, a major global health concern often rooted in cardiac dynamics, demands precise
risk evaluation for targeted intervention. Current risk models, like the CHA 2 DS 2-VASc …

Hemodynamics play a vital role for the risk of thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA)
and left atrium (LA) for patients with atrial fibrillation. Accurate prediction of hemodynamics in …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are at high risk of stroke with∼ 90% clots
originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Clinical understanding of blood-flow based …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia,
affecting over 1% of the population. It is usually triggered by irregular electrical impulses that …
