Left Atrial Appendage Mechanical Dispersion Assessed by Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography as a Determinant of Left Atrial Appendage Blood Stasis in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Left Atrial Appendage Mechanical Dispersion Assessed by Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography as a Determinant of Left Atrial Appendage Blood Stasis in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

AimsWe sought to investigate the relationship of left atrial appendage (LAA) mechanical dispersion (MD) with LAA dense spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) or thrombus, and to compare its usefulness in the identification of thrombogenesis with left atrial (LA) MD or LA/LAA strain parameters in patients w...
