Left atrial appendage function in mitral stenosis: is a group in sinus rhythm at risk of thromboembolism?
A subset of mitral stenosis in sinus rhythm at increased risk of embolization can be suspected by Doppler transesophageal echocardiographic LAA flow profile.
Given that IG% reflected sepsis severity and overt DIC without additional cost, IG% could be a useful biomarker in patients with sepsis. However, there is a limitation for using it as a novel biomarker in sepsis due to the disability of prediction for 28-day mortality.
