Does left atrial appendage assessment by MRI/MRA predict the risk of stroke/TIA in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Does left atrial appendage assessment by MRI/MRA predict the risk of stroke/TIA in patients with atrial fibrillation?
LAA assessment by MRI/MRA may serve as an adjunctive tool for risk stratification of embolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation.
