Brain scans reveal how heart clots cause strokes
NCT ID NCT04456309
Summary
This study aimed to understand how strokes caused by a clot inside the heart look different on brain MRI scans compared to strokes caused by a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. Researchers analyzed detailed MRI scans from 122 stroke patients to compare the location, size, and number of damaged areas in the brain. The goal was to gather knowledge that could help doctors better identify the source of a stroke in the future.
