Silent stroke risk: new study targets hidden heart condition in older women
NCT ID NCT05444335
Summary
This study aims to find out how common undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) is in women over 70, a group at high risk for stroke. Researchers are enrolling 120 women with no prior diagnosis to wear a heart monitor for two weeks. The goal is to detect this condition early so doctors can prescribe blood thinners to help prevent strokes.
