The role of the new derived parameters of left atrial (LA) strain in cardioembolic risk stratification is unknown, besides, new algorithm is needed to provide incremental value of cardioembolic risk stratification in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those with CHA2DS2-VASc score...
