Abstract

Background and Purpose Cerebral emboli can be recognized by typical “high-intensity transient signals” (HITS) in the transcranial Doppler (TCD) spectral curves. Patients with potential cardiac sources of embolism are at higher risk for stroke. Methods We examined the frequency of HITS in the left mi...
