If a stroke is confirmed on imaging, various other studies may be performed to determine whether there is a peripheral source of emboli:

* an ultrasound/doppler study of the carotid arteries (to detect carotid stenosis)
* an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (to identify arrhythmias and resultant clots in the heart which may spread to the brain vessels through the bloodstream)
* a Holter monitor study to identify intermittent arrhythmias
* an angiogram of the cerebral vasculature (if a bleed is thought to have originated from an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation)
