This study demonstrated a significantly lower D-dimer concentration and CHA2DS2-VASc score in AF patients with SLASEC than in those with LAT. The D-dimer cut-off value (0.285 mg/L) can be used as an effective reference index to distinguish the pre-thrombotic state of LAT from LAT. D-dimer blood concentration may be a predictor of LAT thrombolysis.
