Receipt of cardiac screening does not influence 1-year post-cerebrovascular event mortality

Conclusions
In this observational cohort study of patients with cerebrovascular disease, cardiac screening was relatively uncommon and was not associated with 1-year mortality. Additional work is needed to understand the utility of CHD screening among high-risk patients with cerebrovascular disease.
