Intervention
Echocardiography (transthoracic, transesophageal, and intracardiac)
Echocardiography plays a crucial role in assessing cardiac structure, evaluating thromboembolic risk, and guiding percutaneous procedures in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Cite This Study
Corrado et al. (2006) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography was evaluated. Echocardiography modalities, including transthoracic, transesophageal, and intracardiac, play a crucial role in the evaluation, management, and procedural monitoring of patients with atrial fibrillation.
