Among patients who presented 24 - 72 hours after an acute ischemic stroke from large-vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation and had imaging-identified salvageable tissue, endovascular therapy resulted in better functional outcomes than standard care but led to a higher risk of intracranial hemorrhage and death (6.0% bs 1.8%) https://t.co/s6we30fCxG
🧵 #STROKE Highlights for October are here:
🌟 In mice with intracerebral hemorrhage, oral cilostazol enhanced dural lymphatic drainage, reduced hematoma volume, and improved neurological recovery. @LD_McCullough
🧠💙 HealStroke is now live on iPhone & Android!
This one is personal.
After my dad had a stroke, I became one of his primary caregivers. I saw firsthand how difficult and fragmented recovery can be once you leave the hospital.
So we built HealStroke.
One place for stroke survivors & caregivers to support recovery at home — speech, movement, mobility, swallowing, vision, blood pressure & more.

A stronger step.
A clearer word.
Another exercise completed.
Another day of showing up.
Stroke recovery is full of progress worth remembering.
Track it with HealStroke.

🧵 Among >4 million patients with #stroke in GWTG (2016–2023), in-hospital stroke patients had more severe deficits, delayed recognition-to-CT times, ⬆️ mortality, and ⬇️ odds of independent ambulation vs community-onset stroke.
Imagine a world where countries competed on how well they can treat people when they are sick? Proud to introduce the Stroke World Cup education series, so you can cheer on countries with context ⚽️🧠
