Velocity encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance to assess left atrial appendage emptying
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The presence of impaired left atrial appendage (LAA) function identifies patients who are prone to thrombus formation in the LAA and therefore being at high risk for subsequent cardioembolic stroke. LAA function is typically assessed...
