Storytelling may boost blood thinner use in black heart patients
NCT ID NCT05997914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether watching storytelling videos can help African American and Black patients with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) start and continue taking blood thinners to prevent strokes. About 80 adults who are not currently on blood thinners but have a high stroke risk will be randomly assigned to watch the videos or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable, feasible, and effective at increasing medication use.
