Computers helping prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
- Your stroke risk score (CHA2DS2VASc) is 2 or higher if you are a man, or 3 or higher if you are a woman
- You are not currently taking a blood thinner for stroke prevention

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.
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 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.
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 study looks at how to better predict both stroke risk and bleeding risk in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors choose safer blood-thinner treatment and follow-up plans.
This trial uses heart imaging to better understand stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help doctors decide on the best treatment to prevent another stroke.
