Predicting hidden atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a small heart monitor to see if certain heart changes can predict hidden atrial fibrillation in people who had a stroke or mini-stroke with no clear cause. It aims to find those who might benefit from blood thinners to prevent another stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke or mini-stroke between January 2022 and July 2023.
- The cause of your stroke is unknown after standard tests.
- You are between 50 and 89 years old.
- You have no known heart rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation.
- You don't have a history of bleeding stroke or severe heart disease.

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 uses AI-powered heart monitoring to detect a type of irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that may develop after a stroke. Catching this condition early could help prevent future strokes and guide your treatment.
This trial tests whether extended monitoring can detect hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who have had a stroke. If found, treatment can help prevent another stroke.
This trial tests if starting blood thinners can prevent another stroke in people who had a stroke but were found to have a hidden heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is for older adults who have had a recent stroke without a known cause.
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 trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to see if it can predict which patients who had a stroke from an unknown cause might develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). If you have a small heart monitor already implanted, the AI will analyze your ECGs to find early signs of AFib, which could help prevent future strokes.
