First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound (called TTE) can help prevent another stroke in people who have already had one. Researchers will follow 2000 stroke patients who received a TTE to see if the test results help doctors make better treatment choices and reduce the chance of a second stroke. The goal is to find out if using TTE more widely can improve outcomes for stroke survivors.
