Monitoring heart rhythms after stroke to guide care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a small implantable heart monitor to track heart rhythm in people after an acute ischemic stroke or TIA. It aims to learn how often hidden heart rhythm problems show up, which could help doctors choose better stroke prevention treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 40 years of age or older
- Have had a recent ischemic stroke or TIA (a “mini-stroke”) confirmed by CT or MRI
- Have been evaluated fully for the cause of the stroke
- Have a HAVOC score of 4 or higher, and you do not have another cause of stroke listed other than atrial fibrillation (AF)
- Do not have known or newly found AF during the hospital stay, and you must agree to participate (or your guardian must)

This study looks at heart ultrasound pictures and heart-rhythm recordings to predict who may develop atrial fibrillation (AF) after a stroke or TIA. If you qualify, your results may help doctors better spot people at higher risk earlier.
This study checks whether a special wrist device can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in people who recently had a stroke with an unclear cause. It may help doctors find the cause earlier and tailor follow-up care.
This study watches how people recover from a recent stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (or AFib). It aims to find better ways to predict recovery and guide future care.
This study looks at how treating atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) with a procedure called ablation—which uses heat or cold to fix the heart's electrical signals—might help improve brain function and recovery after a stroke. It aims to see if controlling the heart rhythm can lead to better neurological outcomes.
This trial tests an early treatment approach for people who had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) and have an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to lower the chance of having another stroke by treating AF as early as possible after the stroke.
This trial tests whether an AI tool can help find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that can cause stroke) after a stroke. If you are hospitalized for a stroke, the AI may flag you for extra heart monitoring, which could lead to better treatment and fewer future strokes.
