Objective We aimed to identify predictors of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus in patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to enhance the prognostic value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score …

Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with high risk of ischemic stroke. The most
frequent thrombus location in AF is the left atrial appendage (LAA). Transthoracic …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFl) increase the risk of thromboembolism.
The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of left atrial thrombus (LAT) in AF/AFl in …

INTRODUCTION: Data on antithrombotic treatment among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)
in Poland are limited. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to describe antithrombotic management …

Background High risk of embolic events exists in both patients with chronic atrial fibrillation
(AF) and patients in the perioperative period of ablation (effective treatment for AF) …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with an
increased risk of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical …

Introduction Decreased left atrial appendage emptying velocity (LAAV) is a known predictor
of LAA thrombus in atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of our study was to identify which of the …

Cardioversion, whether pharmacological or electrical, is associated with a risk of
thromboembolic events on the order of 5% to 7% within 30 days in nonanticoagulated …

Background The prevalence and predictors of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in
patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who have been treated with non‐vitamin K …

Background: Knowledge of thrombosis (T) risk predictors and transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) are important tools in appropriate qualification of patients for safe …
