Aim: to assess rate of detection of markers of thrombi formation and to determine whether transthoracic echocardiography data or clinical characteristics predict severe left atrial appendage [LAA] dysfunction (low LAA velocity, severe spontaneous echo contrast [SEC], LAA thrombus) in patients with typical atrial flutter (AFl).
Material And Methods: Consecutive 406 patients (299 with atrial fibrillation [AFib] and 107 with AFl) underwent transesophageal echocardiography before cardioversion. Mean age was 59.
