Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Cerebral embolism from cardiac source is an important cause of stroke, specially in patients younger than 45 years old.', 'To describe the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) findings in young and non-young stroke patients without any prior evidence of cardiac source for cerebral embolism.', 'Transversal study: 523 patients (267 men and 256 women) with ischemic stroke, without any evidence of cardiac abnormality, underwent to TEE.', 'Ten percent were aged 45 years; or less. Left ventricle hypertrophy, left atrial enlargement, spontaneous contrast in aorta, interatrial septum aneurysm, mitral and aortic valve calcification, aortic valve regurgitation, and atherosclerotic plaques in aorta were significantly more frequent in patients aged more than 45 years; 2.8% of non-young patients had thrombus in left heart.
Output (English): Does transesophageal echocardiography disclose unexpected cardiac sources of embolus in stroke patients aged more than 45 years?
