Heart inflammation after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for inflammation after a stroke. It aims to understand if the brain injury affects the heart, which could lead to better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You recently had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain), confirmed by a scan.
- The stroke was in a specific area of the brain called the middle cerebral artery territory.
- You have not had a previous stroke within the last 3 months.
- You do not have a history of heart disease, heart failure, or heart surgery.
- Your kidney function is normal, and you can have an MRI with contrast.
- You do not have any active infections or inflammatory conditions, and you have not had surgery recently.

This study collects blood samples and images from patients with heart muscle damage or those undergoing coronary angiography. The goal is to find new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look closely at inflammation in the heart muscle. It helps doctors better understand and treat myocarditis and inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
This early-phase study uses a special MRI scan to look at the heart in people with heart failure (and related heart changes). It aims to see whether these MRI results can better characterize heart disease and help doctors understand what’s going on.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
