The value of left atrial longitudinal strain in evaluating left atrial appendage spontaneous echo contrast in non-valvular atrial fibrillation

BackgroundSpontaneous echo contrast (SEC) observed in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a reliable predictor of the risk of future ischemic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Left atrial strain globally reflects atrial function, remodeling and distensibility. Th...
