RESUMEN

El diagnóstico de la enfermedad vascular cerebral (EVC) se ha incrementado con la disponibilidad de las técnicas diagnósticas de imagenología tales como la tomografía, la resonancia magnética y el ecocardiograma. En este artículo presentamos la utilidad del ecocardiograma transtorácico y el ecocardiograma transesofágico para diagnosticar EVC de origen cardioembólico causadas por fibrilación auricular, estenosis mitral reumática, las prótesis valvulares, endocarditis infecciosa, trombos intraventriculares, prolapso mitral, tumores, calcificaciones intracardiacas, foramen oval permeable y aneurisma septal.
