    Abstract:

    Objective:To assess the structure and function remodeling of left atrial(LA)and left atrial appendage(LAA)using cardiac CT in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF),and to evaluate its relation with stroke. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the CT imaging of 221 patients with AF and divided them into the stroke group and the non-stroke group. The left atrium maximum volume(LAVmax),left artium minimum volume(LAVmin),left artrium appendage maximum volume(LAAVmax)and left artrium appendage minimum volume(LAAVmin)were segmented and measured by post-processing software. The LA and LAA ejection fractions(LAEF,LAAEF)and LAA were calculated. According to the shape of the appendage,we divided LAA into chicken wings and non-chicken wings. And whether there was a thrombus or circulatroy stasis in LAA was also observed. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were carried out on the parameters of LA. Results:Among the 221 patients with AF,47 patients developed a stroke. The LAVmax and LAVmin in the stroke group were significantly larger than those in the non-stroke group(P < 0.05),LAEF in the stroke group decreased compared with the non-stroke group(P < 0.05). The proportion of non-chicken wing type in the stroke group was higher than that in the non-stroke group(P=0.006). The proportion of thrombosis or pre-thrombotic state in the LA of the stroke group was higher than that in the non-stroke group(P=0.01). The LA volume,LAA structure,and LAA hemodynamic status were independently associated with stroke. Conclusion:LA parameters measured by cardiac CT may be useful for predicting stroke in patients with AF.
