Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Electrophysiology Testing
The American Journal of Cardiology, 10/27/09
Priester R et al. – LA thrombus and cardioversion to sinus rhythm are common among patients with AF undergoing an evaluation of ventricular arrhythmias. Transesophageal echocardiography performed before the procedure in patients with subtherapeutic anticoagulation is warranted to minimize embolic complications. This strategy appears to be a safe method to guide diagnostic testing in this patient population.
