Cost-effectiveness analysis of transthoracic echocardiographic assessment in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA of undetermined cause
In patients with ischemic stroke or TIA of undetermined cause, a strategy of performing TTE only in patients who also had major ECG-abnormalities resulted in the most favorable ratio of additional costs per additional QALY. This supports performing TTE only in patients, who also have major ECG-abnormalities.
