On #WorldStrokeDay it is so important that everyone recognises the signs of stroke and can quickly access care by calling 999. New FAST campaign coming soon 📺 @NHSEngland - get help quickly to ensure the best possible recovery and life after stroke @TheStrokeAssoc
If you see someone with any of the signs or symptoms of a stroke, remember to act F.A.S.T.
🟡 Face – has it fallen on one side?
🟡 Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
🟡 Speech – is it slurred?
🟡 Time – to call 999

ALT A series of images showing the symptoms of stroke. Face: Has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile? Arms: Can they raise both arms and keep them there? Speech: Is their speech slurred? Time: To call 999 if you see any single one of these signs. When stroke strikes, act F.A.S.T. The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner.

Day 4 Clinical Trial #WSC2024 @WorldStrokeOrg. rh proUrokinase was non-inferior to Alteplase. The PRAAN registry showed that 80% of patients post-EVT go home. I could not find the results of PUMICE and THEIA.

Day 3 Clinical Trials #WSC2024 @WorldStrokeOrg Intra-arterial TNK not helpful in posterior circulation stroke, more evidence for minimally invasive surgery for ICH, MRI was non-inferior to CTP based patient selection for EVT and DOACs safe but not efficacious in CVT #strokemed

Day 2 Clinical Trials: Step towards non-gated single-phase cardiac-neck-brain CTA, OPTIMAS/CATALYST will change guidelines, early anticoagulation can be implemented more convincingly, BP reduction <130 is better for overall CVD reduction #WSC2024 @WorldStrokeOrg #stroke

Is left atrial appendage occlusion a valuable treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation and #breakthroughstroke despite anticoagulation therapy? @davidseiffge @boersma_lucas ja.ma/47BEHMx

From @JAMA_current: Among pts with a large infarct on noncontrast CT presenting within 24 hours, thrombectomy did not demonstrate improvement in functional outcomes at 90 days vs medical care alone; findings were not definitive & further study is needed.

Well done to @ClaudiaZeee on her @PracticalNeurol review discussing the causes of secondary hypertension in cerebrovascular disease - worth checking out for an overview of how to approach its investigation and management.

1)Take a history
2)examine the patient
3)based on 1)&2) try &localise the lesion
4)think about a differential diagnosis
You CAN make life really hard by NOT doing these things, hence the 🤷♂️
