These results show that quantification of LASEC by VI value is the most favorable predictor of stroke in patients with NVAF, and calls for improving the utility of LASEC in predicting subsequent stroke events.

We studied 24 consecutive patients recruited for symptomatic severe native valve AS (aortic valve area 10.5 cm2/m2),r8 mean transvalvular gradients 530 mm Hg? and LV dysfunction (LV ejection fraction 10.45). Patients were excluded if they were too ill to participate (n = 3), had technically difficult echocardiograms (n = 2), or atria1 fibrillation (n = 1). Thus, 18 patients (age 70 f 9 years) completed the study. Significant coronary artery disease (250% stenosis) was present in 8 (44%) .
