Heart monitor study aims to catch hidden stroke risk

NCT ID NCT07343895

First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at whether using a 7-day heart monitor can find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people with higher levels of a heart stress marker called NT-proBNP. About 4,000 adults aged 40 and older without known AF will be split into two groups: one gets the monitor, the other does not. Researchers will track strokes and heart-related deaths over 6 years to see if early detection and treatment make a difference.
