Abstract | Background: Left atrial (LA) appendage flow velocity (LAAFV) is a classic but invasive predictor of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to explore the usefulness of LA diameter (LAD) combined with CHA Methods: In total, 716 consecutive NVAF patients who underwent transesophageal echocardiography were divided into the decreased LAAFV (< 0.4 m/s) and preserved LAAFV (≥ 0.4 m/s) groups. Results: The decreased LAAFV group had a larger LAD and a higher CHA Conclusion: Enlarged LAD was independent risk factor for a decrease in LAAFV among NVAF patients. LAD combined with CHA |
