- <p id="p0010">In 971 moderate- to high-risk subjects (CHADS2 score ≥ 2) with AF enrolled in the echocardiographic substudy of ENGAGE AF–TIMI 48, death was more frequent than thromboembolism.p>
- •
- <p id="p0015">Larger LV size and higher filling pressures were associated with increased risks for death.p>
- •
- <p id="p0020">Neither left atrial nor LV measures were associated with thromboembolic risk.p>
- •
- <p id="p0025">LV size and filling pressures may help identify patients with AF at increased risk for death.p>
