摘要：
We examined the prevalence of intraatrial thrombus in patients with atrial flutter using transesophageal echocardiography as the diagnostic probe, and found that left atrial thrombus occurs with disproportionately high frequency in such patients, with male gender and left ventricular ejection fraction <40% being predictors of left atrial thrombus formation.
