摘要

Background and Objectives

Guidelines recommend echocardiography to screen for structural sources of cardioembolism in patients with ischemic stroke. Cardiac CT is a promising alternative as a first-line screening method. We aimed to determine whether cardiac CT, acquired during the initial stroke imaging protocol, has a higher yield for detecting high-risk cardioaortic sources of embolism than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).

Methods

We performed a prospective, single-center, observational cohort study and included consecutive adult patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent ECG-gated cardiac CT during the initial stroke imaging protocol. Patients also underwent the routine stroke workup, including TTE. The main outcome was the proportion of patients with a predefined high-risk cardioaortic source of embolism on cardiac CT vs TTE in patients undergoing both investigations.

Results

Between May 2018 and November 2020, 774 patients with a suspected ischemic stroke underwent hyperacute cardiac CT. We excluded 228 patients with a diagnosis other than ischemic stroke and 94 because they did not provide informed consent. Therefore, 452 patients (59.3% male, median age 72) were included. The median additional scan time of cardiac CT was 6 (interquartile range 5–7) minutes with poor scan quality in only 3%. In total, 350 of the 452 patients (77.4%) underwent TTE, 99 of whom were performed in an outpatient setting. Reasons for not undergoing TTE were death (33, 7.3%) and TTE being too burdensome to perform in the outpatient setting (69, 15.3%). A high-risk cardioaortic source of embolism was detected in 40 of the 350 patients (11.4%) on CT, compared with 17 of the 350 (4.9%) on TTE (odds ratio 5.60, 95% CI 2.28–16.33). Cardiac thrombus was the most frequent finding (7.1% vs 0.6%). The diagnostic yield of cardiac CT in the full study population was 55 of the 452 (12.2%). Among the 175 patients with cryptogenic stroke after the routine workup, cardiac CT identified a cause of the stroke in 11 (6.3%).

Discussion

Cardiac CT acquired in the acute phase of ischemic stroke is technically feasible and has a superior diagnostic yield compared with TTE for the detection of high-risk sources of embolism. Cardiac CT may be considered as an alternative to TTE to screen for cardioembolism.
