Özet

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is more sensitive than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in detecting the potential source of emboli in cardioembolic strokes (CES). To establish the prevalence of a potential cardiac source of embolism detectable on TEE and its relationship to vascular risk factors, an unselected ischemic stroke population was evaluated. Twenty-six age and sex-matched cases with normal cardiological and neurological examinations as well as normal CT-scans, TTE and ECGs were included in the study as the control group.
