86±12.7%); p<0.001, and lower LAA emptying velocity (17.53cm/s, IQR 9.54-77.4 vs 63.5cm/s, IQR 7.89-86.4; p<0.001). There was a good correlation between LA TDI and speckle tracking PALS and PALSR and LAA EF% and velocity p<0.001. TDI and PALS and PALSR were found to be significant predictors for LAA thrombus (P<0.05) with good sensitivity and…[Read more]
