Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiographic findings and their effect on disease management were evaluated in 216 patients with suspected cardiovascul ar source of emboli. Clinical and transesophageal echocardiographic fi ndings were useful in defining pretest probability for finding a proba ble cardiovascular source of emboli on transesophageal echocardiograph y.
