| Abstract |
Left atrial (LA) thrombus was sometimes found by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), even in the setting of continuous warfarin therapy. A D-dimer cutoff level of 0.50 μg/mL appears to be a useful marker to rule out venous vein thrombosis. This study analyzed the clinical features of patients with LA thrombi who received anticoagulant therapy and whether the D-dimer test is useful to exclude LA thrombus. |
