The HIBISCUS-STROKE study is collecting blood samples, medical information, and brain imaging from people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot blocking blood flow to the brain). Researchers want to find biological markers—signs in your blood or brain scans—that can help predict how well someone will recover after stroke and whether they might have another stroke in the future.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death, and doctors need better tools to predict which patients will recover well and which ones need closer monitoring or different treatment. By studying patients like you, researchers hope to discover new warning signs and improve how stroke is treated and prevented.

If you enroll, you will be asked to donate a blood sample and allow researchers to access your medical records and brain imaging scans from your stroke care. The study also aims to follow patients over time to track recovery, disability, quality of life, and whether you have another stroke. Specific visit schedules and follow-up durations are not detailed in this summary, so you would learn more details from the research team before deciding to participate.
