Heart Failure and the Non-Resolution of Atrial Thrombus Detected in Anticoagulated Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundTo investigate the relationship between heart failure (HF) and the non-resolution of atrial thrombus detected in anticoagulated patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).MethodsThis was a single-center, observational, retrospective, and prospective study. Anticoagulated patients with NVAF and atrial thrombus identified by transesophageal echocardiography or cardiac computed tomography angiography were consecutively enrolled. All patients received follow-up imaging within 6 months to assess the resolution of atrial thrombus. The primary endpoint was the resolution of atrial thrombus and the secondary endpoint was the occurrence of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, and all-cause death during the follow-up period.ResultsAmong 8987 patients with NVAF scheduled for catheter
