Your gut bugs could predict your stroke risk
NCT ID NCT04803838
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether bacteria in the gut and mouth are linked to a higher risk of stroke in people with narrowed neck arteries. Researchers will measure certain waste products from these bacteria in the blood and see if they relate to stroke or worsening artery blockages. The study involves 290 adults with at least 50% carotid artery narrowing and does not test any new treatment.
