Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The presence of intracardiac thrombus will be assessed on the standard and contrast-enhanced echocardiographic images. Intracardiac flow pattern will be analysed using Tomtec Hyperflow software. A follow-up study will be performed to evaluate the echo contrast and vortex imaging parameters and incidence of thrombosis and outcome of thromboembolic events.	—
