Echocardiographic Characteristics of Patients with Multiple Acute Concomitant Cerebral Infarcts.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Only limited data on the characteristics and outcomes of patients with multiple acute concomitant cerebral infarcts (MACCI) exist. MACCI may imply a cardioembolic source and echocardiography is important in evaluating for potential embolic sources. However, data comparing echocardiographic features in MACCI to those observed in patients with single presumed embolic cerebral infarctions (SACI) are lacking. Thus, we aim to compare echocardiographic features between MACCI and SACI patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from a prospective stroke registry. The diagnosis of stroke secondary to MACCI and SACI was confirmed by MRI. Data on echocardiographic features, demographics, medical history, and functional status were extracted and compared b
