Approximately 47% of thrombi in valvular AF and 91% of thrombi in nonvalvular AF are localized in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Therefore, identification or exclusion of LAA thrombi is critical in many clinical situations. It is essential to assess LAA morphology and function using imaging modalities (particularly echocardiography) before, during, and after interventional procedures such as AF ablation and LAA occlusion. This review article describes the anatomical, physiological, and pathological background of the LAA, followed by an assessment of different echocardiographic modalities. Many practical points are included to improve the diagnostic accuracy and to minimize errors during image acquisition and interpretation. In each clinical scenario where LAA is the crucial target, specific and essential information and parameters are collected.</p>","PeriodicalId":15229,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging","volume":"32 1","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11285475/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141788158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
