[Transesophageal echocardiography in ischemic stroke: the detection of disorders and the indication for the procedure].
The authors present the results of transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic examination (TEE) of 53 survivors of ischemic stroke (IS). The following indications for TEE in IS patients were determined: the presence of permanent or paroxysmal arrhythmia of different etiology for verification of intracavitary thrombosis and its risk factors; identification and assessment of embologenic risk of cardial changes detectable at TEE genesis of which is not still clear; the presence of cryptogenic stroke.
