Echocardiographic strain markers and subsequent atrial fibrillation detection after cryptogenic stroke: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Undetected atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important potential mechanism after cryptogenic stroke. Speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived left atrial (LA) phasic strain and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) have been reported to differ between patients with and without AF subseq...
