Left Atrial Appendage Opacification on Cardiac Computed Tomography in Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Clinical Implications of Slow-Flow

Left atrial appendage (LAA) slow-flow may increase the risk of ischemic stroke. We studied LAA attenuation on cardiac computed tomography in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We used data from a prospective cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing cardiac computed tomography durin...

Zusammenfassung:Left atrial appendage (LAA) slow-flow may increase the risk of ischemic stroke. We studied LAA attenuation on cardiac computed tomography in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We used data from a prospective cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing cardiac computed tomography during the acute stroke imaging protocol. We compared characteristics, functional outcome (modified Rankin scale: higher scores indicating worse outcome), stroke recurrence and major adverse cardiovascular events after 2-year follow-up between patients with LAA thrombus (filling defect
