Morphometrical features of left atrial appendage in the AF patients subjected to left atrial appendage closure

CONCLUSIONS: Important morphometrical differences in LAA orifice have been found, which was significantly larger and more oval in patients with atrial fibrillation compared to healthy controls. Although no difference in LAA body type and size was observed; the LAA ejection fraction was significantly lower in atrial fibrillation rhythm patients.PMID:36165901 | DOI:10.5603/FM.a2022.0080
