Left Atrial Mechanics Assessed Early during Hospitalization for Cryptogenic Stroke Are Associated with Occult Atrial Fibrillation: A Speckle-Tracking Strain Echocardiography Study

Occult atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important contributor to cryptogenic stroke, yet remains difficult to unmask at presentation. This study investigated the predictive value of left atrial (LA) mechanics by strain echocardiography during stroke hospitalization for the presence of AF as detected o...
