Why the study?
Does left atrial appendage peak late tissue systolic velocity (LSV) measured by tissue Doppler imaging better assess LAA function and associate with thromboembolic events compared to flow velocities in patients with mitral stenosis?
Does left atrial appendage peak late tissue systolic velocity (LSV) measured by tissue Doppler imaging better assess LAA function and associate with thromboembolic events compared to flow velocities in patients with mitral stenosis?
Left atrial appendage peak late tissue systolic velocity (LSV) measured by tissue Doppler imaging is an independent predictor of embolic events in patients with mitral stenosis, offering a more reliable parameter than flow velocities.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
LAA tissue velocities may refine dysfunction assessment in MS independent of loading; leaves open their added value for thromboembolism prediction.
Çaylı et al. (2007) studied this question.
