Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus in Nonvalvular AF
Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus in Nonvalvular AF
Our investigation demonstrates that the diastolic function indices of E:e' and e' velocity are associated with LAAT in patients with nonvalvular AF, independent of clinical and echocardiographic covariates. These findings need to be externally validated, and could potentially be incorporated into a prediction rule that could be utilized clinically for risk stratification for LAAT in patients with nonvalvular AF.
