Low blood flow velocity in the left atrial appendage in sinus rhythm as a predictor of atrial fibrillation: results of a prospective cohort study with 3 years of follow-up
A low LAA blood flow velocity (≤ 60 cm/s) in sinus rhythm is prospectively associated with an increased risk of new-onset AF. Additional simple LAA-TEE examinations could help to identify patients who benefit from more accurate cardiac rhythm monitoring.
