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 is testing a small, wireless patch that records your heart's electrical activity (a single-lead ECG) while you are in the hospital. The goal is to see if this patch works as well as the standard wired telemetry system used to monitor heart patients.
This trial tests a remote heart monitoring patch to see if it can safely and effectively track your heart rhythm after a procedure called catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. It could help your doctor keep an eye on your recovery without extra clinic visits.
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 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.
