THROMBI
Baseline characteristics are shown in Table Baseline characteristics of patients with dissolved and persistent LAA thrombi. Data are displayed as n (%) or mean ± SD. Actual numbers of patients differing from total number of study group are indicated separately for each parameter.Significant values are in bold.In the group that dissolved the LAA thrombus, LAA flow velocities measured in the last TOE were significantly higher compared to those in the first TOE (32.7 ± 11.9 vs 20.3 ± 5.3, Comparison of LAA flow velocities. LAA flow velocities were measured in patients without LAA thrombi and in patients with LAA thrombi. LAA flow velocities of patients who dissolved their LAA thrombi and of patients that did not dissolve their LAA thrombi were measured at first contact (first TOE) and last contact, when LAA thrombi had either resolved or not resolved under intensified treatment (last TOE).Blood chemistry revealed worse renal function, higher levels of troponin T and fibrinogen (
