Doctors discover 'Floating Lotus' sign that mimics dangerous blood clots
NCT ID NCT07439731
Summary
This study investigated a common ultrasound artifact that looks like a blood clot in the heart but isn't dangerous. Researchers examined 172 patients with atrial fibrillation to understand this 'Floating Lotus' sign and identify which patients are most likely to have it. The goal was to help doctors recognize this harmless finding and avoid canceling procedures or changing medications unnecessarily.
