Left atrial appendage dysfunction: a cause of thrombosis?

[pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Does this mean if one has Left atrial appendage dysfunction, low or total absence of blood flow, there is a cause of thrombosis?

Mine was noted silent after a previous LAA isolation. It is not common or else I would hear about it from others. What could cause one’s LAA to suddenly become inactive with no blood flow?

Yes, poor blood flow through the LAA is a cause of thrombosis. That's why you're on Eliquis and why a Watchman would be beneficial for you.

You LAA is silent because it was isolated during your ablation. It wasn't something that happened afterwards. Mine isn't silent but it's dysfunctional, and that's true of most of the people I know who've had their LAA isolated. So it may not be common, but that doesn't mean much.

You would think then Eliquis would break up the thrombosis.

It prevents it from forming in the first place.
