Relevance of transthoracic left atrial appendage wall velocity measurement in addition to left atrial volume for noninvasive and quantitative assessment of left atrial thrombogenesis in patients with atrial fibrillation and normal D-dimer levels

Conclusion The noninvasive measurement of transthoracic LAAWV in addition to LA volume is clinically relevant for quantitatively assessing thrombogenesis in AF patients with normal D-dimer levels.
