Q: What is CLOT-AF score?
Answer: CLOTS‐AF score is a risk score to predict left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT); however, LAAT risk factors remain poorly defined. It is a combination of clinical and noninvasive echocardiographic parameters.
On average, each 1‐point increment in the CLOTS‐AF risk score was associated with a nearly 2‐fold increased risk of LAAT.
