Impact of low-voltage zones on the left atrial anterior wall on the reduction in the left atrial appendage flow velocity in persistent atrial fibrillation patients

Impact of low-voltage zones on the left atrial anterior wall on the reduction in the left atrial appendage flow velocity in persistent atrial fibrillation patients

Background The reduction in the left atrial appendage (LAA) flow velocity is related to the presence of emboli in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The LAA is located on the left superior side of the left atrial (LA) anterior wall, and we investigated the relationship between the reduction in the L...

Zusammenfassung:Background The reduction in the left atrial appendage (LAA) flow velocity is related to the presence of emboli in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The LAA is located on the left superior side of the left atrial (LA) anterior wall, and we investigated the relationship between the reduction in the LAA flow velocity (LAAFV) and low voltage zones (LVZs
