Résumé
Our objective was to evaluate hand-held echocardiography as point of care ultrasound scanning (POCUS) to detect sources of embolism in the acute phase of stroke. Prospective, unicentric observational cohort study of non-lacunar ischemic stroke patients evaluated by V Scan device. The main sources of embolism (MSEs) were classified into embolic valvulopathies and severe ventricular dysfunction. We looked for atrial fibrillation (AF) predictors in strokes of undetermined etiology. MSEs were detected in 19.23% (25/130). Large vessel occlusion (LVO) (odds ratio [OR]: 4.24, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-17.85) and chronic heart failure (OR: 13.25, 95% CI: 3.54-49.50) were independent predictors of MSEs. LVO (OR: 6.54, 95% CI: 1.62-26.27) and left atrial area >20 cm
