Left atrial thrombi and spontaneous echo contrast in patients with atrial fibrillation : Systematic analysis of a single-center experience.

CONCLUSION: Only the echocardiographic and epidemiologic parameters were predictors of left atrial thrombi and SEC intensity, while the studied biomarkers had no predictive power. Using clinical data and transthoracic echocardiography, we can change the therapeutic strategy in high-risk patients. PMID: 27100878 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
