Abstract

Aim: Echocardiography is one of the most commonly used diagnostic methods in the investigation of cardiac etiologies among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, data regarding the diagnostic value of this method in patients with and without cardiac abnormalities are limited. The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic yield of echocardiography in AIS patients with and without any cardiac disease.
