Blood test may reveal hidden heart risk in stroke patients
NCT ID NCT07624396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a substance in the blood called BDNF is linked to strokes caused by heart conditions like atrial fibrillation. Researchers will measure BDNF levels in 150 people who recently had a stroke and compare it with heart and brain scans. The goal is to better understand and identify these types of strokes, not to test a new treatment.
