A case of atrial myxoma presenting with syncope evaluated by echocardiography and MRI is described. Cine gradient-echo MRI demonstrated atrial myxoma as a very low signal intensity mass indicating the presence of haemosiderin.
## Abstract Current methods of clinical assessment of muscle coordination and function after stroke do not provide information on deep muscles. The objective of this study was to examine how stroke affects both superficial and deep muscles' coordination and whether muscle function improves after re
