    Correlation between plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels and left atrial appendage flow velocity in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and normal left ventricular systolic function

    The left atrial appendage (LAA) flow velocity is an important factor for thrombus formation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NV-AF). Recently, the relation of plasma brain natriuretic peptide...
