Left atrial thrombi are an important cause for embolism-related morbidity and mortality. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), the clinical reference, is semiinvasive; thus, we aimed to assess the value of contrast-enhanced cardiovascular MRI for the detection of thrombus in the left atrial append...
