Investigating relationships between thromboembolic risk and left atrial structure, function, and flow characteristics as assessed with advanced magnetic resonance techniques
<p>Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with alterations in left atrial (LA) blood flow characteristics which, in turn, increase the risk of LA thrombus formation and, consequently, of cardioembolic stroke. Anticoagulation is highly effective in preventing ischaemic stroke in patients with A...
