Echocardiographic predictors of thrombus in left atrial appendage—The role of novel transthoracic parameters

Echocardiographic predictors of thrombus in left atrial appendage—The role of novel transthoracic parameters

IntroductionThe left atrium appendage thrombus (LAAT) formation is a complex process. A CHA2DS2-VASc scale is an established tool for determining the thromboembolic risk and initiation of anticoagulation treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF/AFL). We aimed to identify whether...
