NCT ID NCT04456309

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

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