Finding Hidden Heart Rhythm Problems After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses AI-powered heart monitoring to detect a type of irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that may develop after a stroke. Catching this condition early could help prevent future strokes and guide your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and were just hospitalized for an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot)
- Your heart rhythm was normal (sinus rhythm) when you were admitted to the hospital
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter before
- You can attend regular follow-up visits at the hospital and wear a heart monitor for 14 days multiple times
- You are willing to consider blood-thinning medication if a hidden heart rhythm problem is found
- You don't have a pacemaker or other implanted heart device

This trial uses a monitoring device to check for a common but often overlooked irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to detect and treat it early to prevent complications like stroke.
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 trial tests whether an artificial intelligence-enhanced ECG (called SmartECG) can detect hidden atrial fibrillation better than usual care in people who have symptoms like a racing heart or dizziness. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to get the AI-enhanced test or standard monitoring, and followed to see if AF is found.
This study uses a small implantable heart monitor to track heart rhythm in people after an acute ischemic stroke or TIA. It aims to learn how often hidden heart rhythm problems show up, which could help doctors choose better stroke prevention treatments.
This study uses an AI tool to look at your ECG (a simple heart test) to help find early signs of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) or structural heart disease (changes in heart structure). It aims to see if the AI can help doctors catch these conditions sooner, even in people who don't yet have symptoms.
This study looks at whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which corrects irregular heartbeats) can help people who have had a stroke and just found out they have atrial fibrillation. If you join, the team will track your neurological recovery and heart rhythm over time.
