Excerpt

Cryptogenic embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) are thought to comprise about 25% of all ischemic strokes. Late-Gadolinium MRI (LGE-MRI) allows detection and quantification of left atrial structural remodeling (LA-SRM). We sought to compare the degree of LA-SRM using LGE-MRI in patients with ESUS and in patients with embolic stroke of know origin, especially in those with atrial fibrillation (AFIB). …
