A new risk-stratified scoring system for predicting left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
Among patients with NVAF who had not previously received anticoagulation therapy, the prevalence of LAAT was 7.24%. The LEFT-AF score improves LAAT risk stratification, particularly in patients with low CHA2DS2-VASc scores, potentially guiding anticoagulation decisions.
