Tiny brain strokes linked to heart hole in young adults
NCT ID NCT04043559
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50 young adults (under 60) who had a stroke with no clear cause. Researchers wanted to see if small strokes in the cerebellum (back part of the brain) were linked to a common heart condition called PFO (a small hole between the heart's upper chambers). They compared patients with and without PFO to find patterns in stroke location and size.
