NCT ID NCT04624646
First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearable heart monitors can find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who recently had a stroke. About 337 participants will use either a short-term continuous patch or a long-term intermittent device to see which detects more cases. Finding atrial fibrillation early can help doctors switch from aspirin to blood thinners, reducing the risk of another stroke.
