متن کاملTranscranial Doppler application for risk assessment of stroke in patients with mechanical mitral valve
Introduction: Observing microembolic signals in brain vessels by transcranial Doppler technology is a very common finding in patients with mechanical heart valve. These signals are almost always clinically asymptomatic. The aim of this study was assessment of transcranial Doppler in detecting probability of stroke in patients with mechanical heart valve. Methods: This descriptive study was ca...
