Mini-Stroke patients missed by standard heart tests?
NCT ID NCT04075500
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looked at 516 people who had a transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke) to find the best way to detect atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem that raises stroke risk. Participants were monitored with a 24-hour ECG, a 28-day wearable ECG patch, or a small implanted heart monitor for up to 6 months. The goal was to see which method catches more hidden AF cases, so doctors can start blood thinners to prevent future strokes.
