Detecting atrial fibrillation after stroke using a wrist monitor
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 55 or older when you consent
- You had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke) and the cause is still unclear
- You will be followed at the Emory Stroke Clinic after you leave the hospital
- Your doctor has prescribed extended heart monitoring (a longer heart rhythm check)
- You (or your legal representative/caregiver) can understand English and learn how to use and recharge the study wrist device

This study uses a smartwatch and a longer heart-monitoring test (a Holter) to find an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation after a stroke whose cause is unclear. If they detect it, it may help guide better prevention and treatment to reduce future stroke risk.
This study tests a wearable heart monitor (ECG) to detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, which can raise stroke risk. It checks if this device can help find stroke risk early so you can get the right care.
This trial uses a smartwatch to look for hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) in people who have had a stroke or TIA with no known cause. It could help find the reason for the stroke and guide treatment to prevent another one.
This study uses a smartwatch to track your heart and look for changes in your atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) over time. It aims to learn more about how the condition progresses and the risk of stroke or blood clots, which may help improve future care.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app to check your heart rhythm after a stroke can find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you had a recent stroke or TIA and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to help doctors detect and prevent future strokes.
This study tests a special watch (the Corsano CardioWatch) that can detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. If you're already getting heart monitoring or have symptoms, this watch might be an easier way to track your heart rhythm over a few days.
