    Guidelines recommend echocardiography to screen patients with ischemic stroke for the structural source
    of cardiac embolism.


    The researchers conducted a prospective, single-center, observational cohort study of consecutive adult patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent ECG-gated cardiac CT in their initial stroke imaging protocol
    .


     

    Cardiac CT acquired during the acute phase of ischemic stroke is technically feasible and has a higher diagnostic rate
    than TTE in detecting high-risk embolic sources.
