Stroke and heart health study for recent stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (blood clot or bleeding in the brain) within the last 48 hours
- Your stroke is moderate to severe, with a certain score on a stroke severity test

This study uses a special heart MRI to look for inflammation after a stroke. It aims to understand if the brain injury affects the heart, which could lead to better care.
This study looks at the health outcomes of people with common heart conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. It may help researchers understand how these conditions progress and how to better manage them.
This study looks at how people recover after a stroke. Researchers will check your thinking, memory, and daily function over a year to learn more about recovery patterns and help design better treatments.
This trial tests a simple, non-drug treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm) to see if it can help people who have both a recent stroke and signs of heart injury. The goal is to help protect the heart and improve recovery after a stroke.
This study looks at how stiff your arteries are and how well your blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It might help doctors understand heart failure better and find new ways to treat it.
This study enrolls people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) and also have evidence of narrowed heart arteries. It collects information to better understand how brain and heart artery disease occur together and may guide future care.
