Abstract: Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in Chinese residents, with ischemic stroke (IS) accounting for approximately 70% of stroke patients. In IS, cardioembolic stroke and embolic stroke of undetermined source account for 20%-30% and 30%-40%, respectively. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination is an important adjunctive diagnostic tool, facilitating the identification of IS etiology while also revealing the novel pathogenesis. This article discussed the necessity of CMR examination in IS patients, the value of CMR examination techniques, and the indications for its application in IS patients. It also recommended the procedure of CMR examination for IS patients to provide better help for the diagnosis, treatment, and secondary prevention of IS. |
