Assessing stroke recovery in patients with atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study watches how people recover from a recent stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (or AFib). It aims to find better ways to predict recovery and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old.
- You have had an ischemic (clot-caused) stroke within the last 14 days.
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib, a type of irregular heartbeat) that is not caused by a heart valve problem.
- You or your legal representative must agree, in writing, to participate.
- You do not have a pacemaker or heart monitor already implanted.
- You have not had the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) removed or closed with a device.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not participating in another conflicting study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which corrects irregular heartbeats) can help people who have had a stroke and just found out they have atrial fibrillation. If you join, the team will track your neurological recovery and heart rhythm over time.
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 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.
This trial tests an early treatment approach for people who had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) and have an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to lower the chance of having another stroke by treating AF as early as possible after the stroke.
This registry study follows people with atrial fibrillation to learn which risk factors are linked to stroke or blood clots traveling through the body. Your information helps improve how doctors predict risk and choose prevention strategies.
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.
