Scientists hunt clues to why blood thinners fail to prevent some strokes

NCT ID NCT06954610

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with atrial fibrillation (AF, an irregular heartbeat) still have a stroke even while taking blood-thinning medication. Researchers will follow 500 stroke patients with AF for about a year, collecting blood samples and heart scan data. The goal is to find markers that can better identify which patients are at the highest risk for another stroke.
