Silent cerebral ischemic lesions in ablation-naïve patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Does the pulmonary vein anatomy matter?

Silent cerebral ischemic lesions (SCILs) detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can precede symptomatic stroke, the risk of which is increased five-fold in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the initial incidence of SCILs in the population of patients referre...
