Stroke Prevention by TCD embolus detection
Introduction
The EDS allows the neurologist to detect ongoing asymptomatic emboli floating to the brain. Emboli and especially solid emboli are under normal conditions never observed in the cerebral circulation. Emboli in the bloodstream means that there must be an unstable vascular lesion in the bloodstream that dislodge these herehito asymptomatic thrombi. But more important is that these asymptomatic emboli are strong predictors of bigger ones which may cause stroke. The current lecture addresses how neurologists can use TCD embolus detection in stroke prevention programs...
