Summary

This study follows 1,400 women who had a stroke with no clear cause. They received a small heart monitor implanted under the skin to check for hidden irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) that can cause strokes. The goal is to see if finding and treating these heart issues with blood thinners reduces the chance of having another stroke or other serious heart problems.
