Diagnostic yield of cardiac computed tomography in detecting high-risk cardioaortic embolic sources: A retrospective cohort study
CCTA proved to be a viable option for identifying high-risk structural sources of cardioembolism in ischemic stroke patients. Its non-invasive nature, coupled with the ability to perform imaging soon after stroke onset, underscores its clinical utility. However, further prospective and blinded studies are required to validate these findings and fully establish the efficacy of CCTA in this context.
