Demonstration of Patient-Specific Simulations to Assess Left Atrial Appendage Thrombogenesis Risk

Demonstration of Patient-Specific Simulations to Assess Left Atrial Appendage Thrombogenesis Risk

Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters left atrial (LA) hemodynamics, which can lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA), systemic embolism and stroke. A personalized risk-stratification of AF patients for stroke would permit improved balancing of preventive anticoagulation therapies against b...
