Detecting hidden atrial fibrillation after stroke of unknown cause
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a small patch (M.E.M.O. Patch) to continuously monitor your heart rhythm for hidden atrial fibrillation, a treatable cause of stroke. The goal is to see if the patch can find irregular heartbeats that standard tests might miss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You had a stroke and doctors could not find a clear cause (called ESUS)
- You are willing to wear a small heart-monitor patch
- You do not already have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
- You are not allergic to adhesive bandages or hydrogel
- You can understand the study and give your consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to see if it can predict which patients who had a stroke from an unknown cause might develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). If you have a small heart monitor already implanted, the AI will analyze your ECGs to find early signs of AFib, which could help prevent future strokes.
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 study uses a smartwatch and a longer heart-monitoring test (a Holter) to find an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation after a stroke whose cause is unclear. If they detect it, it may help guide better prevention and treatment to reduce future stroke risk.
This trial tests whether using a remote monitor to check your heart rhythm after a catheter ablation is safe and helps detect irregular heartbeats early. You would use a small device at home to send your heart data to your care team.
This study tests whether wearing a small patch on the chest for a few weeks can find hidden irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) in people with higher stroke risk. Finding it early may help prevent strokes.
This study checks whether a special wrist device can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in people who recently had a stroke with an unclear cause. It may help doctors find the cause earlier and tailor follow-up care.
