TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

This study compares two common procedures (radiofrequency and cryoablation) for treating persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem that raises stroke risk. Researchers will track 158 adults over 24 months to see which method better prevents strokes, mini-strokes, and…

This study tests whether a special dye (Florbetaben) used with a PET scan can detect inflamed plaque in the arteries of people who recently had a heart attack, stroke, or mini-stroke. The goal is to see if this imaging method is feasible for identifying dangerous plaque that migh…

This study reviews the records of 300 adults who visited the emergency department after a transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke). The goal is to see if the care they received—like tests and treatments—matched their actual risk of future strokes. Researchers hope to find g…

This study follows 1,300 people who had a stroke or mini-stroke and completed a 1-year exercise program. Researchers want to see if the benefits of regular physical activity last for 3 more years. No new treatments are given—just observation to track strokes and other health even…

This study looks at how a stroke can disrupt the body's automatic functions, like heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers will use brain scans and blood tests to find patterns in 100 people who recently had a stroke or a mini-stroke. The goal is to better understand these chan…
