I asked him if my left appendage works correctly when I am not in
My cardiologist in Michigan said I have a CHAD score of 1 because I am a woman and that is part of his idea of thinking to stop my

Post LAA Isolation 6 month TEE parameters that must be passed in order possibly be able to stop OAC drugs (Assuming your systemic stroke/TIA risk factors that do not include LAA function (like CHA₂DS₂-VASc) nor anything directly regulated to AFIB/Flutter are:
1. LAA Emptying Velocity - the LAA emptying Velocity measured just inside the ostium (mouth) of the LAA must be >/= 45cm/sec
2. Doppler A-Wave into the Mitral Inflow - the doppler A-Wave of blood flow measured at the mitral valve inflow from the LAA outflow directly above and vertically perpendicular to the horizontal oriented mitral valve opening ... must show a Consistently Robust A-Wave amplitude beat by beat ... it is not okay to stop a blood thinner if the A-wave is largely absent or with an irregular A-wave amplitude that includes some mitral inflow measured A-wave heart beats that indicate less than robust and consistent mechanical function through the full LA/LAA through Mitral valve flow pattern with every heart beat
3. The Absence of any 'Smoke' or SEC (Spontaneous Echo Contrast) seen anywhere in the left atrium or left atrial appendage.

That is all interesting since my velocity was 34cm/sec but Natale said i was OK because it was "contracting". I am not even sure in this case how to understand "must be > 45cm/sec"
