“…The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (OR, 2.179; 95% CI: 1.191–3.987; p=0.012) and red cell distribution width (RDW) (OR, 2.398; 95% CI: 1.075–5.349; p=0.033) were independently correlated with the presence of LA/LAA thrombus but not D-dimer (OR, 0.999; 95% CI: 0.998–1.000; p=0.210). When all patients were divided into four groups based on the combination between RDW (cutoff value: 12.95%) and NT-proBNP levels (cutoff value: 368.9 ng/L), the rate of LA/LAA thrombus was the highest in the high RDW and NT-proBNP group. …”
