The pathophysiological properties of the left atrium are not usually considered for stroke risk stratification of patients with atrial fibrillation. The demonstration that left atrial fibrosis detected by delayed-enhancement MRI is associated with history of stroke highlights the need to take into account histopathological data, in addition to clinical data, in stroke risk stratification

Abstract
The pathophysiological properties of the left atrium are not usually considered for stroke risk stratification of patients with atrial fibrillation. The demonstration that left atrial fibrosis detected by delayed-enhancement MRI is associated with history of stroke highlights the need to take into account histopathological data, in addition to clinical data, in stroke risk stratification
