Transesophageal Echocardiographic Predictors of Stroke in Patients with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Objective The left atrial appendage is the most source of thrombus formation in atrial fibrillation.The aim of this study was to find out left atrial appendage functions in patients with PAF with or without stroke.Materials and Methods This study included74 paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients w...
