Symptomatic strokes were documented in 6 veteran endurance athletes who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, providing data on a population with few traditional risk factors.
This case series describes clinical and cardiovascular magnetic resonance findings in a rare cohort of veteran endurance athletes with symptomatic stroke.
