OBJECTIVE A noninvasive technique of visualizing the left atrial appendage (LAA) and its thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation would be of great interest. This study examined the utility of MRI for the assessment of thrombus in the LAA. METHODS We evaluated 50 subjects with nonrheumatic continuous atrial fibrillation and a history of cardioembolic stroke. Each patient received an MRI and a transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) on the same day for thrombus detection in the LAA. Both double- and triple-inversion recovery sequences were used for the MRI evaluations. RESULTS In all subjects, the LAA was readily visualized with MRI. High-intensity masses in the LAA were clearly distinguishable from the LAA wall in the triple-inversion recovery sequences. Concordance between detection of high-intensity mass with MRI and thrombus with TEE was high: no mass (MRI), no thrombus (TEE), 31 patients; mass (MRI), thrombus (TEE), 16 patients; and mass (MRI), no thrombus (TEE), 3 patients (overall kappa=0.876, SE=0.068). CONCLUSIONS MRI is a noninvasive and reproducible modality for thrombus detection in the LAA of patients with nonrheumatic continuous atrial fibrillation and previous cardioembolic stroke.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D001281 Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.
