COVID-19-Induced Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus

Cureus
Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus formation is a clinically significant complication that can occur in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), particularly in the setting of coexisting conditions that affect coagulation. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with a hypercoagulable state, which may contribute to thrombus formation ...

The correlation between left atrial appendage morphology and thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and a major cause of ischemic stroke. Between 91% and 100% of cardiogenic thrombi are in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and the morphology of the LAA is closely associated with the ...
