She has EF 28% means severe LV systolic dysfunction. It means heart pumping function is reduced when heart is not pumping is low there is stagnation of some blood in heart and the blood clots are formed which get travelled in circulation to brain and produced stroke. It is called cardioembolic stroke. Management wise she will require coronary angiogram after neurological green signal and further management. Also we give drugs to reduce volume overload and pressure overload on heart. Generally diabetic patients with low EF have multiple blocks in coronary arteries or the heart muscle is week as cardiomyopathy. Follow your cardiologist and neurologist instructions.
