Overview

Analysis reveals significant indicators like NT-proBNP levels and echocardiographic markers for thrombus prediction in AF patients.

Key Points

  • Patients with left atrial appendage thrombus had a longer duration of persistent atrial fibrillation.
  • The NT-proBNP level of ≥ 1689 pg/ml provides a reliable predictive indicator for thrombus presence.
  • Significant echocardiographic findings include a higher left atrial volume index in patients with thrombus.
  • Laboratory differences were minimal, with only GFR and NT-proBNP levels showing significant variation.
