Determinants of left atrial appendage volume in stroke patients without chronic atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND: Left atrial appendage (LAA) volume has been shown to be increased in patients with acute cryptogenic stroke. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-recognized risk factor but it is not the only one associated with LAA enlargement. The aim of the study was to clarify the multifactorial etiolo...
