AIM: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between @entity955 ( @entity955 ) times and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in @entity1 diagnosed with @entity955 ( @entity955 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included a total of 74 @entity1 , 34 of whom were diagnosed with @entity955 and 40 were included in the control group. The CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated for each @entity1 . Additionally, blood samples were taken from all @entity1 and transthoracic echocardiographic measurements were made. Left atrial mechanical functions and @entity955 were calculated. RESULTS: Mean CHA2DS2-VASc score measured was 2.24      1.53 in @entity955 group. There was no significant difference between the groups when the @entity1 were evaluated for baseline characteristics and laboratory parameters (P  >  0.05) The echocardiographic evaluation of LA mechanical functions showed that only LA minimum volume (19      6.4 vs. 16.7      4.6, P  =  0.02) and LA presystolic volume (28.9      7 vs. 25.1      5.7, P  =  0.01) were higher in the @entity955 group. When @entity955 was compared between the groups; lateral PA, septal PA, tricuspid PA, Interatrial EMD, and intraatrial EMD were significantly extended compared to control group (P  <  0.001) CHA2DS2-VASc score was correlated with Lateral atrial PA (P  <  0.001, r  =  0.524), Septal atrial PA (P  <  0.001, r  =  0.45), Interatrial EMD (P  <  0.001, r  =  0.54), and intraatrial EMD (P  <  0.001, r  =  0.51) times. CONCLUSION: The present study shows that @entity955 times increase in @entity1 with @entity955 compared to the control group. Furthermore, this study revealed a correlation between @entity955 times and CHA2DS2-VASc score, as well showed that extended @entity955 time may be associated with @entity1031 risk.
