Registry study for recent stroke/TIA with heart artery disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study enrolls people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) and also have evidence of narrowed heart arteries. It collects information to better understand how brain and heart artery disease occur together and may guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (mini-stroke).
- Your symptoms started less than 30 days ago.
- Imaging (ultrasound, CT, or MRI) shows atherosclerosis (narrowing) in brain arteries.
- You also have evidence of coronary (heart) artery disease from imaging or heart testing, or prior heart stent/bypass.
- You have no cancer with a life expectancy under 5 years, and your major organs/blood system are not too impaired; you’re willing to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a new way to measure stroke risk in people with a specific type of brain artery narrowing (atherosclerosis) in the front part of the brain. You might participate if you have this condition and are willing to have imaging tests and take standard medicines.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This trial uses a detailed eye/brain imaging test (optical coherence tomography) to study people with significantly narrowed brain arteries after certain stroke-like events. It may help researchers better understand and monitor this condition to improve care.
This study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to measure blood flow and sugar use in the brain. It is for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year due to a severely narrowed carotid artery.
This study looks at how two types of blood vessel problems in the brain affect each other over time. It may help researchers better understand what to watch for and potentially how to improve outcomes.
This study follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
