A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study to Identify High-Risk Transient Ischemic Attack/Minor Stroke Patients Benefitting from Echocardiography
Echocardiography is a very useful test in the investigations of patients with TIA/minor stroke. We identified high-risk clinical features-combined to create a clinical decision rule-to identify which patients with TIA/minor stroke are likely to have clinically significant echocardiogram findings requiring an immediate change in management. These patients should have echocardiography prioritized, whereas others may continue to have echocardiography conducted in a less urgent fashion.
