Mechanical concordance between left atrium and left atrial appendage in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: can it be exploited to avoid transesophageal echocardiography prior to electrical cardioversion during Covid-19 pandemic?
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the gold standard for assessing left atrial appendage (LAA) mechanic and thrombosis (LAAT); however, TEE is a high-risk procedure for viral transmission during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We investigated whether deformation indices of left...
