Could taking blood thinners only when needed be just as safe as daily pills?
NCT ID NCT06216769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two approaches to taking blood thinners after a common heart procedure for atrial fibrillation. One group takes blood thinners every day as usual, while the other takes them only when a small implanted monitor detects an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if the 'as-needed' approach can prevent strokes and bleeding just as well. About 400 adults at risk for stroke will participate.
