Estimation of left atrial appendage wall motion velocity in patients with persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and its effect on thrombotic risk
Background and aim Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and accounts for one-third of hospitalizations for rhythm disorders in the United States. This increasing burden of AF leads to a higher incidence of stroke. Aim The aim of the study is to assess the risk of thrombogenesis in...
