Potential Role of 2-Phase Cardiac CT in Patients With Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source

Recent trials failed to demonstrate that anticoagulation was superior to antiplatelet agents in preventing recurrent stroke after embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), which may be as a result of the heterogeneity of etiology. We thus investigated whether the use of 2-phase cardiac computed tomography (CT) could help to evaluate the etiology in patients with ESUS.
