Left ventricular non-compaction as a potential source for cryptogenic ischemic stroke in the young: A case-control study.

Left ventricular non-compaction as a potential source for cryptogenic ischemic stroke in the young: A case-control study.

BACKGROUND:Up to 50% of ischemic strokes in the young after thorough diagnostic work-up remain cryptogenic or associated with low-risk sources of cardioembolism such as patent foramen ovale (PFO). We studied with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, whether left ventricular (LV) non-compaction-...
