Preventing stroke, death, and memory decline in atrial fibrillation
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at ways to help people with atrial fibrillation lower their risk of stroke, premature death, and worsening memory. It may help by identifying which prevention approach works best for a broader community of patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 55 and 73 years old when you join
- You have not had a prior stroke or a warning stroke (TIA) recorded in your records
- You do not have a history of bleeding in the brain, and you have not had a major bleeding hospital stay in the last 3 years
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (estimated GFR is at least 30, within the last year)
- You are not currently taking an anticoagulant and you can consent to review your health records

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial follows people with atrial fibrillation to see how long-term blood-thinning treatment affects outcomes over time. It may help determine which long-term approach best lowers stroke and clot risks for patients like you.
This study looks at how to better predict both stroke risk and bleeding risk in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors choose safer blood-thinner treatment and follow-up plans.
This trial tests a web-based decision aid that helps people with atrial fibrillation (AF) decide about stroke-prevention treatment, such as blood thinners. It may help you feel more confident and make safer choices by showing options at the right time after diagnosis.
This trial tests whether taking a blood thinner can lower the risk of stroke in people who had atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) that happened temporarily around a stressful illness or surgery. It looks especially at people at higher risk for stroke after that episode.
This study follows people with atrial fibrillation to see how well blood-thinning medications work and what outcomes they experience over time. It aims to improve treatment guidance for patients with this common heart rhythm condition.
This trial tests if starting blood thinners can prevent another stroke in people who had a stroke but were found to have a hidden heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is for older adults who have had a recent stroke without a known cause.
