Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Risk Study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between the type of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) and the risk of having another stroke. It involves people who have had a recent ischemic stroke and have a certain type of AF.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a recent ischemic stroke (a clot-caused stroke) in the outer or inner part of the brain.
- You have a type of atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) that comes and goes (paroxysmal AF), either known before the stroke or found during tests.
- You do not have permanent or persistent AF (always present).
- You are not allergic to iodinated contrast dye used in scans.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
