Increased Mobility of the Atrial Septum in Aortic Root Dilation: An Observational Study on Transesophageal Echocardiography
Background: There is a growing interest in the relationship between atrial septal anatomy and cardioembolic stroke. Anecdotal reports suggest that the enlargement of the aortic root could interfere with atrial septal mobility (ASM). We sought to investigate the association between ASM and aortic roo...
