Help choosing blood thinners to prevent stroke in AF
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You were diagnosed with non-valvular AF within the last 12 months.
- You are not taking oral anticoagulants (blood thinners) or you have taken them for less than 90 days.
- You have an AF specialist visit scheduled in 7 to 30 days.
- Your AF is not related to a mechanical heart valve or certain types of mitral valve disease.

This study tests a computer tool that helps doctors decide if you need a blood thinner to lower your stroke risk. If you have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and haven't been prescribed a blood thinner yet, this might help protect you.
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.
This study tests a shared decision-making tool to help Black and White patients with atrial fibrillation choose the right blood thinner to prevent strokes. It aims to make sure everyone gets equal care.
This study tests whether using a smartwatch to monitor your heartbeat can safely guide when to take blood thinners. If you have intermittent atrial fibrillation, you may be able to avoid taking blood thinners when your heart rhythm is normal.
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 compares two blood-thinning medicines to see which works better for people who have both atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and heart disease. It aims to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke while avoiding bleeding problems.
