Beta-fibrinogen 455G/A polymorphism, even in presence of heterozygote allele, is associated with the presence of thrombus and/or SEC in left atrium in patients with AF, whereas,

Objective: This study was prospectively designed to evaluate the relationship between the mitral A wave acceleration slope (AWA-slope) and the left atrial ejection fraction

Nonobstructive membranes of the left atrial appendage cavity: Report of three cases.. Correale M, Ieva R, Deluca G, Di

Transesophageal echo- cardiography (TEE) showed up to 1.4 cm fibrillar thrombi on the mitral prosthetic valve and a huge thrombus completely filling the left atrial walls

The aim of our study was to determine whether there was any association between LV size and left atrial/LAA size and to evaluate the incidence of spontaneous echo contrast

Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography demonstrating a huge left atrial appendage aneurysm (asterisk) and severe spontaneous echo contrast within the aneurysm.. LA: Left

Furthermore fibrosis is a process possibly linked with inflammation and it has also been described in atrial appendages, with a different pattern between left and right

A thrombus and spontaneous echo contrast was revealed in the left atrial appendix (LAA) by 2D and 3D transesophageal echocardiographic examination (TEE) (Fig. A) Right
