Comparing heart scan criterias in patients with unknown cause of stroke and normal patients

Completed

Conditions: Other forms of heart disease,

Registration Number: CTRI/2023/04/051635

Lead Sponsor: Deparment of Cardiology

Brief Summary: Speckle tracking echocardiography is an extremely useful technique to improve the diagnosis of atrial disease and function in cryptogenic stroke and it could be a great assistance in stratifying the thromboembolic risk.

1. Primary objective: To study the spectrum of LA strain parameters in patients with cryptogenic stroke and to evaluate atrial anatomy and function using LA strain

2. Secondary objective: To evaluate differences in LA function by LA strain between patients with cryptogenic stroke and controls and Assessing the left atrial appendage anatomy in cryptogenic stroke patients
