Overview
Echocardiography may be performed to determine the underlying etiology such as arrhythmias and the resultant clots in the heart that may spread to the brain vessels through the bloodstream.[1][2]
Echocardiography
- Echocardiography may help assess the structural cause and source of emboli in ischemic stroke.[1][2]
- It may also help assess risk factors for recurrent stroke such as atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease and atherosclerosis.[1][2][3]
