Overview
An electrocardiogram (ECG) may be performed to determine the underlying etiology such as arrhythmias which may result in clots in the heart that may spread to the brain vessels through the bloodstream. A Holter monitor may be used to identify intermittent arrhythmias.
Electrocardiogram
ECG may help determine the underlying cause for embolic stroke such as atrial fibrillation and valvular abnormalities.
