Joint Analysis of Morphological Parameters and In Silico Haemodynamics of the Left Atrial Appendage for Thrombogenic Risk Assessment

Figure 2

(a) Left atrial appendage division in three regions for the haemodynamic analysis (left) and morphological indices: ostium perimeter (postium) and area (Aostium), neck height (hLAA), distal point length (hθ), maximum ostium diameter (Dmax), origin of the LAA (OLAA), intersected point (pinter), anterior (dA) and posterior (dP) distance of the LAA and LAA, and centre of mass (pmass). (b) Examples of LAA with high and low tortuosity (left and right, respectively).
