Heart tests to prevent another stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how heart problems might cause strokes. If you had a stroke that doctors can't explain after many tests, this trial will do extra heart monitoring to find possible causes and help prevent another stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and had a stroke that doctors can't explain after full testing.
- Your stroke must have started within the last 2 weeks (or when you were last known to be well).
- MRI or CT scan must show a new stroke.
- Your heart's pumping ability (ejection fraction) is 20% or higher.
- You must be willing to have follow-up information collected at 30 days.
- You are not in another blinded study for stroke prevention.

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 follows people who have had or are at risk for stroke to understand what causes strokes and how they develop over time. By participating, you help researchers learn more about stroke prevention and treatment.
This study looks at heart ultrasound pictures and heart-rhythm recordings to predict who may develop atrial fibrillation (AF) after a stroke or TIA. If you qualify, your results may help doctors better spot people at higher risk earlier.
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI or CT) to look for blood clots in the heart of people who had a stroke with an unclear cause, specifically if they also have a mild heart condition affecting the left ventricle. The goal is to find hidden clots that might be causing strokes.
This study looks at how well the left side of the heart pumps (called strain) in people who had a stroke without a known cause. It aims to see if this heart measurement can help predict future strokes or heart rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation.
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.
