Heart scans may reveal hidden stroke risk
NCT ID NCT04769310
Summary
This small, completed study aimed to find better ways to predict who is at risk for a type of stroke caused by blood clots from the heart, even in people without the common heart rhythm problem atrial fibrillation. Researchers used detailed heart and brain scans on a small group of high-risk patients to look for links between heart structure and silent strokes. The goal was to gather information to help develop future tests and prevention strategies.
