The incremental value of interatrial septum motion in predicting thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: an observational study on transesophageal echocardiography
IAS motion measured by TEE correlates well with LAA flow velocity and LA size and is independently associated with SEC/TH in NVAF. Additionally, lower IAS motion is associated with a higher prevalence of SEC/TH. Furthermore, the integration of IAS motion to CHA2DS2-VASc, LAVI and mean E/e' can provide additional value for the prediction of SEC/TH.
