Correlation between left atrial appendage morphology and flow velocity in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
AIMS Reduction of left atrial appendage (LAA) flow velocity (FV) is a risk factor for thrombus formation and increases the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Furthermore, LAA morphology is correlated with stroke in patients with AF. The aim of this study was to correlate LAAFV with LAA morphology in patients with AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 96 patients (age 59.0 ...
متن کاملA Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملStunning of the left atrium after pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION Stunning of the left atrium and atrial appendage is a well known but not fully clarified phenomenon observed during the cardioversion of atrial fibrillation regardless of the cardioversion method attempted. AIM To assess the effects of propafenone and amiodarone on left atrium and left atrial appendage contractility. METHODS Forty patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (2...
متن کاملEstimation of left atrial blood stasis using diastolic late mitral annular velocity.
AIMS Diastolic late mitral annular velocity (a') measured by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is reported to represent left atrial (LA) pump function and the severity of LA remodelling. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between a' and LA blood stasis in patients with non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 138 consecutive pati...
متن کاملThe correlation between the mouth diameter of left atrial appendage and stroke risk score in patients with atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE Our objective is to explore the correlation between the mouth diameter of left atrial appendage (LAA) and stroke risk score in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), to find the effective ways to improve diagnosis and treatment level. PATIENTS AND METHODS 112 patients with AF during January 2011-April 2013 were retrospectively analyzed, including 79 cases with paroxysmal AF and 32 ...
