Trans Thoracic Echo Cardiology in Stroke
Cardiac c t led to an od's ratio of five point six, or greater than five times more likely to find a central, embolic source of stroke compared to trans thoracic echo. We're looking at ways to not do both investigations. I think it needs further investigation. But this very interesting paper in stroke came out 20 20, by garcia espron and colleagues that looked at a method to calculate the left fentricular eection fraction based on the c t profusion data. If that is actually confirmed, that we can calculate the left entricar ejection fraction on the ct p data, that will be a major step forward towards implementing cardc t and
