The prognostic implication of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients from China is still unclear. We aim to investigate the impact of LAAO procedure on subsequent clinical outcomes in patients from China.
Although the left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure has increasingly been performed to prevent the occurrence of ischemic stroke events among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), the clinical benefits and prognostic implications of which have not been well characterized in patients from China. As a result, we aim to conduct an observational study to explore the prognostic impact of LAAO in patient with NVAF who are hospitalized in Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital.
