Does the MAPH score improve detection of left atrial thrombus compared to the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing ablation?
The MAPH score demonstrates superior discriminative ability compared to the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score for detecting left atrial thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing pre-procedural evaluation for ablation.
The MAPH score was significantly associated with LA thrombus and demonstrated superior discriminative ability compared to the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score for detecting LA thrombus. These findings suggest that the MAPH score may serve as a useful marker for identifying existing LA thrombus in patients with AF undergoing pre-procedural evaluation.
