If you encounter a person who is unconscious and not breathing, call 9-1-1 and follow the modified steps for hands-only CPR. Your quick action can help save that person’s life. Learn CPR and how to use an AED.

Excited to share our findings on the protective effect of influenza vaccination against #stroke (aHR 0.77 for 6 months post 💉 !) at @CNSFNeuroLinks esp. on behalf of our late colleague @Larry_Svenson

Congratulations to @bijoymenon and the AcT Team on their groundbreaking study in The Lancet. The national study, led by the Foothills Medical Centre team, found TNK was as effective or better than tPA and easier to administer when seconds count! @AHS_media https://t.co/QYe5BHYbnM

[AcT RRCT @ActRrct]

Results published!- IV TNK 0.25mg/kg is a reasonable alternative to alteplase for thrombolysis using standard inclusion criteria @TheLancet @bijoymenon @DrRickSwartz @nishita_singh3 @brianhb @mihill68 @CSC_Stroke @DCNSNeuro

Some great vascular neurology content with presentations by stroke experts from across Canada, including my CHUM colleagues Drs Olena Bereznyakova and Christian Stapf

@WomensHearts2 @dryiu_verna Brilliant is right. That is excellent news.

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

Strokes can happen to anyone, at any time. Act FAST. Lifesaving treatment begins the second you call 9-1-1.

@mobilestroke4U Not rare but uncommon. Maybe 1 in every 100 strokes where we intervened? We tend to offer CEA even for low % stenosis due to high recurrence risk.

[Bo Norrving @BoNorrving]

A major milestone, not least for the revised section on cerebrovascular disease, now in one single block, with definitions, and in Disorders of the Nervous System

[Aravind Ganesh @draravindganesh]

🚨🧵How did the #COVID19 pandemic affect #stroke care? In this population study in #Alberta, we examined changes in ischemic stroke presentations, management and outcomes during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic @CMAJ @DCNSNeuro https://t.co/t9PbE9G86E
