Computer help to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a computer program can help doctors decide when to prescribe blood thinners to people with atrial fibrillation who are at risk for stroke. If you have atrial fibrillation and are not on a blood thinner, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (irregular heartbeat)
- Your stroke risk score (CHA2DS2-VASc) is 2 or higher for men, or 3 or higher for women
- You are not currently taking a blood thinner medication

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 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 study tests an electronic decision-support tool used in the emergency department (ED) to help clinicians choose the safest way to prevent stroke when atrial fibrillation is newly found. It may help by improving how quickly and consistently stroke-prevention treatment is considered.
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 whether continuous heart-rhythm monitoring with a smartwatch can better guide treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) while you stay on a blood thinner. The goal is to improve safety and reduce stroke risk by catching AF patterns more closely.
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.
