Research progress of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in evaluating structure and function of left atrial appendage
Left atrial appendage(LAA)originated from the left atrial remnant in the embryonic period.It has uniquetissue structure
physiological function and hemodynamic characteristics. Its anatomical morphology and structure have greatvariability and are closely related to thrombosis and recurrence in patients with atrial fibrillation.Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography can display the three-dimensional anatomical structure of LAA from multiple angles
and has thefunction of arbitrary plane cutting of LAA images
and completely and accurately evaluate the parameters of LAA.This article reviewsresearch progress of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in evaluating structure and function of LAA.
