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.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography may help assess the underlying cause of ischemic stroke and risk factors for recurrent stroke such as atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease and atherosclerosis.[1][2][3]
