Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus is the primary cause of stroke and systemic embolism in atrial fibrillation (AF). Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) effectively reduce the prevalence of LAA thrombosis and stroke risk.

AI-ECG prediction models developed at our institution can evaluate the probability of atrial fibrillation (AF) and estimate a patients age based on a normal sinus rhythm (NSR) ECG. Migraine with aura(MwA) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and adverse vascular outcomes compared to those with migraine without aura (MwoA).

The rhythm is atrial fibrillation. As in all ischemia interpretations with OMI findings, the findings can be due to type 1 AMI (example: acute coronary plaque rupture and thrombosis) or type 2 AMI (with or without fixed CAD, with severe regional supply/demand mismatch essentially equaling zero blood flow).

For this analysis, ACO was defined as angiographic evidence of coronary thrombosis with peak cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) at least 10 ng/mL or cTn-T ≥ 1 ng/ mL.
