Cardiovascular MRI: A valuable tool to detect cardiac source of emboli in cryptogenic ischemic strokes

Abstract Objectives Despite a thorough work‐up including transesophageal echocardiography, 20%–30% of stroke etiology remains cryptogenic. Transesophageal echocardiogram is considered the gold standard procedure to detect cardiac or aortic sources of emboli. In the recent years, cardiovascular MRI h...
