Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is designed to understand how atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) develops and changes in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will implant a small, continuous heart monitor under your skin to track your heart rhythm patterns, measure substances in your blood that reflect heart health, and monitor changes in your heart structure over time. This helps doctors understand whether the condition gets worse and what other health changes happen alongside it.
Many people discover they have an irregular heartbeat only after experiencing a stroke, and doctors don't yet fully understand how this condition evolves over time. This study aims to fill that gap by closely monitoring patients to learn whether the irregular heartbeat becomes more frequent or severe, and what other health problems tend to develop—so that future treatments can be better targeted and more effective.

You will undergo a minor surgical procedure to have a small, matchstick-sized heart monitor placed under your skin, usually near your collarbone. This device will continuously record your heart rhythm for the duration of the study. You will return for follow-up visits where doctors will check the device, perform blood tests to measure heart-health markers, obtain heart imaging scans, and ask about any new health diagnoses. The study will track your condition over time to see how your heart rhythm and overall health change.
