Screening for atrial fibrillation after stroke
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke)
- You do not have known atrial fibrillation, or you have been diagnosed with occasional atrial fibrillation but are in normal rhythm when you enter the hospital
- You do not have atrial fibrillation at the time of admission
- You are willing and able to give consent to join
- Your doctor expects you to live at least one year

This study tracks patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) over time to better understand the condition and improve care. You may be asked to share health information and attend follow-up visits.
This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
This trial tests if an electronic blood pressure monitor can detect atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem, in people aged 60 and older. It aims to make screening easier and more accessible.
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.
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 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.
