Echocardiographic parameters among the three groups.

Variable	No thrombus group (n = 84)	SEC group (n = 131)	Thrombus group (n = 45)	value
LVEDD (mm)	49.47 ± 7.27	49.63 ± 6.34	51.60 ± 6.87	0.203
LAD (mm)	38.02 ± 5.11	42.04 ± 6.08	44.77 ± 6.12^§	<0.001
RVEDD (mm)	19.72 ± 2.29	20.88 ± 2.32	21.22 ± 2.67	0.001
LVEF (%)	62.99 ± 5.75	60.87 ± 6.40	58.50 ± 6.70^§	0.001

LVEDD = left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LAD = left atrial diameter; RVEDD = right ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVEF = left atrial ejection fraction. vs no thrombus group.^§ vs SEC group.
