First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound (called TTE) can help prevent another stroke in people who have already had one. About 2,000 stroke patients who received a TTE will be followed to see if the test helped doctors change treatment and reduce the chance of a second stroke. The goal is to find out if routine heart imaging should be standard care after a stroke.
