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 tests whether a special blood pressure monitor can detect atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. It may help identify the condition early so you can get proper care.
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 study looks at stroke risk and blood clotting in people who have just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib) that is not caused by a heart valve problem, and who have not yet taken blood thinners. It aims to better understand how blood clots form in this condition.
This trial tests whether an AI tool can help find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that can cause stroke) after a stroke. If you are hospitalized for a stroke, the AI may flag you for extra heart monitoring, which could lead to better treatment and fewer future strokes.
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.
