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.[1][2] [1][2]
- Underlying cause for ischemic stroke such as embolic source in atrial fibrillation, ongoing myocardial ischemia, chronic myocardial injury and valvular abnormalities.
- ECG monitoring in first 24 hours may help determine the new onset or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
- May determine cardiac complications of acute ischemic stroke such as myocardial ischemia or arrythmias.
