Abstract

Whether left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) on chronic anticoagulation significantly increases cardiovascular risk is unknown. This study aimed to assess LAAT prevalence and its predictive role in cardiovascular events among consecutive anticoagulated patients with AF admitted for electrical cardioversion.
