Popis: BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, significantly increasing the risk of death and stroke. The left atrial appendage (LAA) plays a crucial role in the development of AF. Reduced left atrial appendage emptying velocity (LAAEV) is an important indicator of nonvalvular AF, associated with thrombosis and recurrence after catheter ablation. This study aims to identify factors influencing LAAEV and construct a predictive model for LAAEV in nonvalvular AF patients.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 1,048 nonvalvular AF patients hospitalized at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021. Patients underwent transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and had complete laboratory data. Statistical analyses included binary logistic regression and multiple linear regression to identify independent predictors of reduced LAAEV and construct a predictive model.ResultsPatients were divided into two groups: reduced LAAEV (
