NCT ID NCT04456309

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looked at brain MRI scans of 122 stroke patients to see if those with a clot in the heart (intracardiac thrombus) had different stroke patterns than those with atrial fibrillation. Researchers compared the location, size, and number of brain injuries between the two groups. The goal was to better understand how these conditions cause strokes, which may help guide future treatment.
