Presented at #ScientificSessions26: In patients with previous ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, a systolic blood-pressure target below 120 mm Hg was associated with fewer major cardiovascular events than a target below 140 mm Hg. Full OPTIMAL-STROKE trial results: nej.md/3UasT1O @AHAScience
A graph from the Original Article "Intensive Blood-Pressure Control in Patients with Previous Ischemic Stroke.” The trial name, OPTIMAL-STROKE, is in parentheses after the title. The graph shows the cumulative hazard of the primary outcome. The trial results are being presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2026. The logo of the New England Journal of Medicine is at the bottom.

Among patients with acute ischemic #Stroke who underwent successful #EndovascularTherapy for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion, adjunctive intra-arterial tenecteplase was associated with a higher rate of excellent functional outcome at 1 year vs standard medical treatment. Mortality at 1 year was similar between groups. ja.ma/47HX0Rm

Excited to share our new publication in Stroke: an updated meta-analysis of LAAC vs. OAC in atrial fibrillation. While ischemic stroke was more frequent with LAAC, nonprocedural bleeding was lower. Grateful to my mentors, and co-authors! 📄 lnkd.in/gNWuV4Vb #Stroke

Excited to share our new study comparing antithrombotic strategies after carotid artery stenting. DOAC + SAPT may have similar outcomes to DOAC + DAPT. Prospective studies are needed. Grateful to my mentors & colleagues! 🧠 ovid.com/jnls/neurosurgery/a… @CNS_Update @CNSResidents

How much and what kind of physical therapy should patients receive after stroke? Our Phase II trial was just published! 🏥 🧠 ovid.com/jnls/jacpt/fulltext… Early inpatient physical therapy after acute stroke was associated with meaningful functional improvement. The combination of frequent therapy and error-augmentation produced the greatest gains and superior postural control at discharge #Neurology #Stroke #PhysicalTherapy #Rehabilitation

Assessment of dizziness with and without video head impulse testing (vHIT) in stroke patients as phase I of our study 🧠 🔥 #Neurology #Stroke @AANmember // neurology.org/doi/10.1212/CP…

Video Head Impulse Testing for Acute Dizziness in Stroke Protocols | Neurology Clinical Practice

Background and objectivesDizziness is a common emergency department (ED) concern, yet posterior-circulation strokes can be difficult to detect with standard clinical tools and neuroimaging alone....
