Summary
This study looked at 172 people with atrial fibrillation who had a heart procedure guided by a special ultrasound. Researchers found a common harmless imaging artifact, called the 'Floating Lotus' sign, that can look like a dangerous blood clot. By learning to tell the difference, doctors can avoid canceling procedures or changing blood thinners unnecessarily.
