Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Left atrial thrombus (LAT) poses a significant risk for stroke and other thromboembolic complication in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and predictors of LAT in patients with paroxysmal AF, utilizing machine learning techniques based on data from the Chinese Atrial Fibrillation study.
