English term or phrase: cardiogenic LA
Bonjour,

Je traduis un document destiné à des professionnels de santé. Ce document présente l'intérêt d'un médicament dans le cadre de la fibrillation auriculaire.

"In transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE or TEE) the probe is placed in the oesophagus. This brings the probe close to the heart, enabling high quality images to be obtained. The TOE is highly sensitive and specific means of detecting cardiogenic LA and left atrial appendage (LAA) embolism."
LAA = left atrial appendage
LA = left atrium

Je ne vois vraiment pas à quoi fait référence "cardiogenic LA"

Je vous remercie.
