Those patients were matched for the CHA<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>DS<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\u2010VASc criteria with 75 event\u00adfree patients and CT data were compared. LAA measurements, morphology (Cactus, Chicken\u2010Wing, Windsock, Cauliflower), and takeoff of the superior and inferior edge in relation (higher or lower) to the respective takeoff of the adjacent pulmonary vein (PV) were determined. LAA flow in relation to heart rate was also compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Univariate analysis showed that TE patients had a higher incidence of superior LAA takeoff (i.e., higher than the left superior PV; 28% vs. 4%, P = 0.002) and a higher incidence of hyperlipidemia (40% vs. 17%, P = 0.028), while LAA morphologies, inferior takeoff, and other LAA characteristics were similar between groups. Logistic regression revealed that a superior LAA takeoff (OR: 9.1, 95% CI: 2.1\u201338.6, P = 0.003) was the only independent predictor of TE. There was a negative correlation between heart rate and LAA flow (r = \u20130.2 cm\/s pro bpm, P = 0.048), that was even more pronounced for the superior LAA takeoff (r = \u20130.67 cm\/s pro bpm, P = 0.035).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>A higher LAA takeoff is associated with a tachycardia\u2010mediated thrombogenic flow and an increased thromboembolic risk.
