Severe left atrial spontaneous echo contrast in non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Clinical characteristics and impact on ischemic risk post-ablation

Conclusions Higher BNP, ESR, LAd/∆LVED were the independent predictors for severe SEC. Severe SEC were associated with higher peri-procedural and long-term ischemic risks. ESR and LAd/∆LVED, as indicators of hematological and hemodynamic change, seemed helpful in identifying NVAF patients prone to developing severe SEC.PMID:36402133 | DOI:10.1055/a-1983-0516
