Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the accuracy of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in detecting left atrial/left atrial appendage (LA/LAA) thrombus and to analyze the difference between the diagnostic accuracy of various imaging sequences. METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies from 2000 to 2017 that compared CMR with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in detecting LA/LAA thrombus. The CMR images were analyzed in four categories: (1) cine-CMR; (2) first-pass contrast-enhanced 3D CMR angiography (CE-MRA); (3) delayed-enhancement CMR (DE-CMR); and (4) CMR, regardless of the magnetic resonance sequences used. Descriptive and quantitative information was extracted and Meta-DiSc 1.4 was used to perform the analysis. RESULTS: The analysis included 582 patients from seven publications. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and summary receiver operating characteristic of cine-CMR were 91.00%, 93.00%, 50.43, 10.04, 0.24, and 93.93%, respectively; for CE-MRA, the values were 77.00%, 97.00%, 179.21, 51.77, 0.30, and 97.63%, respectively; for DE-CMR, 100.00%, 99.00%, 849.70, 77.62, 0.09, and 99.38%, respectively; and for CMR, 80.00%, 99.00%, 187.54, 24.21, 0.17, and 97.71%, respectively. CONCLUSION: In patients with atrial fibrillation, CMR has been proven to be a favorable diagnostic technique for the detection and assessment of LA/LAA thrombus. Among the imaging sequences evaluated, DE-CMR had the highest sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy.
