Cardioaortic embolism to the brain accounts for approximately 15–30% of ischaemic strokes
and is often referred to as 'cardioembolic stroke'. One-quarter of patients have more than …

Embolism of cardiac origin accounts for around 15–30% of ischaemic strokes. Strokes due
to cardioembolism are generally severe and early and long-term recurrence and mortality …

The evaluation of patients with stroke includes identifying its etiology in order to
appropriately tailor therapy. Currently, the diagnostic work‐up includes imaging of the brain …

Embolism from the heart or the thoracic aorta often leads to clinically significant morbidity
and mortality due to transient ischemic attack, stroke or occlusion of peripheral arteries …

This report will review the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis of cardiac sources of
embolism. Embolism of cardiac origin accounts for around 15%–30% of ischemic strokes …

Background and Objectives Guidelines recommend echocardiography to screen for
structural sources of cardioembolism in patients with ischemic stroke. Cardiac CT is a …

While the etiology of ischemic stroke is heterogeneous, approximately 20%–40% of all
stroke cases result from cardiac or aortic origin. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) …

Background: Cardioembolic stroke carries a major risk of stroke recurrence, which can be
markedly reduced by early initiation of appropriate secondary prevention. We investigate …

Background and Purpose—We assessed the diagnostic performance of 2-phase 64-slice
cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) for the detection of a cardiac source of …

OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this article are to explore the potential for use of CT
angiography and MRI and to highlight data suggestive of their usefulness in specific …
