Cardiac MRI for detecting left atrial/left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation : Meta-analysis and systematic review.
J ChenH ZhangD ZhuY WangS ByanjuMeiyan LiaoPublished in: Herz (2018)
In patients with atrial fibrillation, CMR has been proven to be a favorable diagnostic technique for the detection and assessment of LA/LAA thrombus. Among the imaging sequences evaluated, DE-CMR had the highest sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy.
