Brief Answer:
It is the clinical correlation that matters.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

There is no test that can establish SVT as a cause of TIA.It is the clinical background and clinical correlation that has to be considered.Many of the etiologies in medicine are diagnosed in medicine clinically and not with investigations.However,2-D Echocardiography(ECHO) will be supportive for this.
