Predicting stroke risk after heart surgery using heart signals and MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to predict harmful brain and blood-vessel side effects after heart surgery. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients sooner so they can monitor them more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be over 18 years old
- Your heart rhythm must be normal and steady (sinus rhythm)
- You must be able to sign informed consent
- You must not be pregnant
- You should not need any additional carotid (neck artery) procedure around the time of surgery
- You must be able to safely have an MRI scan
