Empowerment and Mobile Technology in the Control of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients With Ischemic Stroke
The CARDIOSTROKE is a randomized trial comparing mobile-device assisted control of hypertension together with screening of occult atrial fibrillation to standard care in patients with recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
Inclusion: Ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (ABCD2 score ≥3); Age ≥40 years; Pre-existing or newly diagnosed hypertension; Informed consent from the patient or legal representative.
Exclusion: Serious condition hampering the study conduct; Known high-risk source of cardioembolism; Known indication for anticoagulation; Contraindication for anticoagulation; Pacemaker; Non-compliance to study interventions as judged by the investigator.
