More than 1.3 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
People who had AF related stroke are at increased risk of having another stroke.
Risk of having a stroke again can be decreased by taking blood-thinning medicines.
New trial could transform the way atrial fibrillation related strokes are treated in the UK.
More than 3,000 people who have had a stroke due to AF will be recruited into the trial.
Reducing the number of recurrent strokes would deliver major economic benefits and boost people’s health.
