Treatments for heart-brain conditions and post-surgery stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is studying different treatments for people who have conditions that affect both the heart and brain, or who have had a stroke or other brain blood vessel problem after heart surgery. The goal is to find out which treatments work best and see what factors affect the results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a condition that affects both your heart and brain, or you have had a stroke or other brain blood vessel problem after heart surgery.
- Your doctor expects you to live at least another year.
- You do not have any other serious illnesses that are not related to your heart or brain.

This trial tests a bundle of interventions to prevent silent brain infarctions (small 'silent' strokes) and thinking problems after heart or blood vessel surgery with a heart-lung machine. If you are 60 or older and having such surgery, this study may help protect your brain health.
This study checks how well your brain works before and after heart surgery. It uses safe tests like a CT scan and an EEG to see if surgery affects brain function.
This study tests whether a simple, non-drug, non-surgical program before heart surgery can help protect your brain. It is for people with heart disease who are at higher risk for problems like stroke after surgery.
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.
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
This study looks at how a brain bleed can affect the heart. Researchers hope to understand the link between brain and heart injury to help improve care for people who have had a brain bleed.
