Effect of atrial fibrillation on atrial thrombogenesis in humans: impact of rate and rhythm

We sought to assess the effect of atrial fibrillation (AF) on atrial thrombogenesis in humans by determining the impact of rate and rhythm. Although AF is known to increase the risk of thromboembolic stroke from the left atrium (LA), the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. We studied 55 patie...
