Iniziativa WSO BEAT STROKE (BEAT STROKE)

15 settembre 2026 aggiornato da: Luciano A. Sposato

WSO - Brain and HEart Global IniTiative (BEAT) Ictus

The WSO Brain and hEart globAl iniTiative - STROKE (BEAT-STROKE) is a cluster randomized controlled trial, testing whether an educational and implementation Neurocardiology tool can improve adherence to best practice recommendations for secondary stroke prevention of cardioembolic strokes, as defined by the WSO Systematic Review and Synthesis of Global Stroke Guidelines or more recent high-quality evidence published after the last stroke guidelines1

Descrizione dettagliata

The World Stroke Organization (WSO) Brain and Heart Task Force developed The Brain & hEart globAl iniTiative (BEAT), a pilot feasibility program aimed at establishing clinical collaborations between cardiologists and stroke physicians.1 The WSO BEAT pilot project focused on atrial fibrillation (AF) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) detection and management, highly prevalent cardioembolic causes of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).

The pilot feasibility WSO BEAT program comprised 10 sites from 8 countries, including Brazil, China, Egypt, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Romania, and the USA. Of the 10 sites, two belonged exclusively to the public sector and one was public and private. The primary objective of the pilot WSO BEAT program was to assess its feasibility by achieving a composite feasibility outcome including: (1) developing site-specific clinical pathways for the diagnosis and management of AF, PFO, and the stroke heart syndrome; (2) establishing regular Neurocardiology rounds (e.g., monthly, bimonthly, etc.); and (3) incorporating a cardiologist to the stroke team.

Overall, the WSO BEAT program successfully achieved the pre-specified goals at most sites. Regarding the three primary program objectives, 9/10 (90%) of the sites were able to design or update the proposed clinical care pathways, establish Neurocardiology rounds, and designate a dedicated cardiologist for the stroke team, respectively.

To date it is unknown whether the implementation of Neurocardiology educational tools and collaborations between cardiologists and neurologists can improve adherence to best practice recommendations focused on the management of cardioembolic strokes.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Comparatore placebo: No intervention arm - Standard of Care for the institution

This group will not receive any of the educational and/or implementation Neurocardiology until the data collection is completed.
Altro: No educational or implementation tool will be provided

Participants in the non-intervention arm will be followed for up to 12 months. Sites randomized to this arm will not receive any educational or implementation tools during the follow-up period. After the 12-month follow-up has been completed, sites may be provided with access to the Neurocardiology tool.
Comparatore attivo: Intervention arm - Educational and implementation Neurocardiology tool

Sites randomized in this arm will receive the educational and implementation Neurocardiology tool with the aim of improving adherence to best practice recommendations for secondary stroke prevention of cardioembolic strokes, as defined by the WSO Systematic Review and Synthesis of Global Stroke Guidelines or more recent high-quality evidence published after the last stroke guidelines.
Altro: Educational and implementation Neurocardiology tool

Sites randomized to the intervention arm will receive an educational and implementation-focused Neurocardiology tool designed to enhance adherence to best practice recommendations for secondary prevention of cardioembolic stroke. These recommendations are based on the World Stroke Organization (WSO) Systematic Review and Synthesis of Global Stroke Guidelines, supplemented by any high-quality evidence published after the most recent stroke guidelines. In addition, participating sites will be provided with 14-day Holter monitors for all patients enrolled in the study.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Difference between the baseline and 6-month mean WSO BEAT-STROKE Neurocardiology Score
Lasso di tempo: 6-months

Difference between baseline and 6-month mean World Stroke Organization Brain and Heart global Initiative Stroke (WSO BEAT-STROKE) Evaluation for Adherence to Treatment Neurocardiology Score

Description: The WSO BEAT-STROKE Neurocardiology Score is a composite scale used to measure adherence to best practice recommendations for the secondary prevention of cardioembolic stroke. It is composed of 8 categories (initial workup, stroke-heart syndrome, ESUS workup, patent foramen ovale, atrial fibrillation management, etc.) with a weighted scoring system (see Table 1).

Scale range: 0 (no adherence) to 10 (full adherence).

Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater adherence to guideline-recommended care.

Calculation: Each patient's score is calculated by dividing the total points achieved by the total possible points for which the patient is eligible, as not all patients qualify for ESUS, PFO, or AF items.
6-months

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Difference between the baseline and 6-month mean WSO BEAT-STROKE Neurocardiology Score for each of the 5 pre-specified cathegories.
Lasso di tempo: 6-months

Difference between baseline and 6-month mean World Stroke Organization Brain and Heart global Initiative Stroke (WSO BEAT-STROKE) Evaluation for Adherence to Treatment Neurocardiology Score by category

Description: This outcome evaluates adherence to best practice recommendations within each of five pre-specified categories of the WSO BEAT-STROKE Neurocardiology Score:

  1. Basic assessment
  2. Stroke-heart syndrome
  3. Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) workup
  4. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) in young patients
  5. Atrial fibrillation (AF) management

Scale range: 0 (no adherence) to 10 (full adherence).

Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater adherence to guideline-recommended care.

Calculation: Each patient's category score is calculated as the sum of points achieved within that category divided by the maximum possible points for which the patient is eligible.

Long-term achievement of the primary outcome at 12 months.
Lasso di tempo: 12-months

Long-term difference between baseline and 12-month mean World Stroke Organization Brain and Heart global Initiative Stroke (WSO BEAT-STROKE) Evaluation for Adherence to Treatment Neurocardiology Score

Description: This outcome assesses the long-term change in adherence to guideline-recommended care, measured using the WSO BEAT-STROKE Neurocardiology Score. The score incorporates 8 weighted categories (e.g., initial workup, stroke-heart syndrome, ESUS workup, PFO, and AF management).

Scale range: 0 (no adherence) to 10 (full adherence).

Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater adherence to best practice recommendations.

Calculation: Each patient's score is calculated as the sum of points achieved divided by the total possible points for which the patient is eligible, as not all patients qualify for ESUS, PFO, or AF items.
