Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people who have had an ischemic stroke. Participants will help researchers learn how the condition affects thinking and memory over the next three years.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have been diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke
  • I have had an MRI scan with contrast agent

You may not be able to join if

  • I cannot do cognitive assessments over the phone

About This Trial

The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of why some individuals who have suffered a stroke experience post-stroke cognitive decline. Specifically this study is testing whether global disruption of the blood-brain barrier detected at the time of the stroke is informative about the risk of post-stroke cognitive decline over the next 3 years.
