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 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 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.
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 study follows adults who have had a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat, to understand who is more likely to have it return. It may help doctors predict risk and plan follow-up after the procedure.
