What tests should be done after someone has a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What to measure: After a stroke, a person should have their blood pressure, heart rate and rhythm measured. They should have blood testing for blood count, cholesterol/LDL, electrolytes and blood sugar. They should have a CT scan of the head. They may also have an MRI of the brain, ultrasound of the carotid arteries (or something similar), and echocardiogram.
