Simple heart scan could unlock mystery of recurring strokes
NCT ID NCT07224178
Summary
This study is looking at whether a special type of heart ultrasound, called strain imaging, can help identify people at risk for having another 'cryptogenic' stroke. Cryptogenic strokes happen when doctors can't find the usual cause, like an irregular heartbeat. Researchers will analyze past ultrasound images and medical records from about 900 stroke patients to see if a weaker left atrium (a heart chamber) is linked to having a first or second stroke. The goal is to find a new, safe way to spot high-risk patients earlier.
