Left atrial spontaneous echo contrast occurring in patients with low CHADS2 or CHA2DS2-VASc scores
Abstract Background Left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (LASEC) is common in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), although scarce information exists on LASEC occurring in nonvalvular AF patients who have low thromboembolic risk scores. We therefore examined prevalence and determinants of LASEC...
