Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the 14-day continuous ECG patch monitor (EZYPRO®) compared with a 24-hour Holter monitor in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) among ESUS patients.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response study of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.
This prospective study aims to identify the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiographic predictors of atrial fibrillation in patients with ESUS (embolic stroke of undetermined source) or TIA (transient ischemic attack).
Demonstrating the pathophysiological link between Left Atrial (LA) and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) pathology and embolic strokes in non-Atrial Fibrillation (AF) individuals represents a major advance in stroke prevention strategies. Instead of relying on non-specific criteria for stroke risk assessment, the investigators propose to identify individuals with high-risk of embolic stroke using imaging criteria that reflect the underlying pathophysiology of embolic stroke of cardiac origin. the investigators can therefore lay the groundwork for future anticoagulation strategies for stroke prevention beyond AF.
Atrial myopathy is considered to be the underlying cause of a large proportion of embolic strokes of undetermined source. However, the definition of this atrial condition is not well delineated while its identification could lead to prescription on anticoagulation in order to avoid stroke recurences. This study aims to identify new markers of atrial myopathy and choosed a multi parametric approach with electrical, echographical, biological and 4D flow CMR derived markers.
This study is a multi-center, prospective, single-arm, non-significant risk (NSR) device study in which up to 150 evaluable subjects with suspicion of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) will be evaluated with NB-IS TCD and standard of care TTE to screen for right to left shunt (RLS) or patent foramen ovale (PFO). Additionally, up to 150 evaluable subjects will be evaluated with NB-IS TCD and standard of care TEE.
This clinical study is a prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous LAA appendage closure by using LAmbre™ Left Atrial Appendage Occluder System. 579 patients with valvular AF complicated with previous AF-related embolic events (including ischemic stroke, TIA and systemic embolism) were enrolled at about 20 study sites nationwide. The baseline data, operation process and relevant follow-up information of subjects were recorded at 7 months after operation or before discharge and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation.
Approximately 17% of all patients with stroke are classified as having ESUS, which is associated with a considerable rate of stroke recurrence 4-5 % per year. Despite recent scientific advances in acute ischemic stroke treatment in recent decades,consensus treatment of all guidelines is still ASA
The proposed study will investigate the clinical use of the ISCDX test that may differentiate between diverse stroke etiologies as listed below: Aim 1: Differentiate between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic ischemic strokes, when hemorrhagic stroke is ruled out, as defined by TOAST classification of subtypes of acute ischemic stroke. Aim 2: In cases of ischemic strokes of unknown or "cryptogenic" etiology, determine the ability of biomarker blood tests to predict etiology between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic.
The PROPhecy study aims to detect the presence of atrial fibrillation/flutter in patients who have suffered an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) using 30 day cardiac monitoring. We hypothesize that the presence of any of the following features on long-term heart rhythm monitoring (holter monitoring) or heart ultrasound (transthoracic echocardiogram), either individually or in combination, will have additional predictive value for the detection of atrial fibrillation lasting 30 seconds or longer on 30 day holter monitoring: - greater than 100 premature atrial beats in 24 hours - greater than 2 runs of atrial tachycardia (4 or more non-sinus beats) in 24 hours - Left atrial enlargement on transthoracic echocardiogram
