In an emergency situation like a stroke, it's important for doctors to first confirm the type of stroke to provide the appropriate treatment. Imaging tests like a CT scan or MRI can help determine the type of stroke; blood flow tests like cerebral angiography, can help evaluate the size and location of blockages.
An echocardiogram can be used to find out if there is an abnormality of the heart that could lead to stroke. There are two types of echocardiograms: one that examines the heart through the chest (called transthoracic echocardiogram, or TTE), and one that examines the heart through the throat (called transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE).
