Published in 2023 at "Clinical Cardiology"

DOI: 10.1002/clc.23980

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of abnormal P‐wave parameters in patients with thrombus and/or spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and to identify P‐wave parameters particularly… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology"

DOI: 10.1007/s10840-022-01169-1

Abstract: The study aimed to explore the resolution of left atrial and left atrial appendage (LAA) spontaneous echo-contrast or thrombus in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) under chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC). A single-center retrospective analysis… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Thrombosis and Haemostasis"

DOI: 10.1055/a-1983-0516

Abstract: Background Spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) is an important precursor for intracardiac thrombus and stroke. There is very limited data on characteristics of severe SEC and its impact on ischemic risk of NVAF patients after RFCA.… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Echocardiography"

DOI: 10.1111/echo.14265

Abstract: Aortic root spontaneous echo contrast is a rare but significant finding. We report a 31‐year‐old female who was placed on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation emergently for acute mitral regurgitation secondary to papillary muscle rupture. Following… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Echocardiography"

DOI: 10.1111/echo.14405

Abstract: The accurate identification of thrombus in the left atrial appendage with transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) before cardioversion is essential. Most of these patients have some grade of spontaneous echo contrast… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Echo Research and Practice"

DOI: 10.1530/erp-18-0083

Abstract: Spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) indicates blood stasis in cardiac chambers and major vessels, and is a known precursor of thrombus formation. Transesophageal echocardiography plays a pivotal role in detecting and grading SEC in the left… read more here.
