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.

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.

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.

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.

Left atrial spontaneous echo contrast: relationship with clinical and echocardiographic parameters
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! 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.
