Popis: Abstract Comprehensive data on factors influencing left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus formation, resolution and impact on survival are limited. In this single-center, retrospective study 7759 (2010–2015) patients with symptomatic ongoing atrial fibrillation (AF) on admission were screened for LAA thrombi. 450 patients had LAA thrombi. 481 patients without LAA thrombi were randomly selected as controls. We assessed clinical, echocardiographic, laboratory parameters and long-term survival of both groups. Patients with LAA thrombi compared to controls were older, had more strokes, higher CHA2DS2 -VASc scores, worse renal function, less controlled diabetes, advanced heart failure, lower LAA emptying velocities, higher levels of cardiac and inflammatory markers (all p
