Program Objectives
The International Stroke Conference features more than 1,200 presentations that emphasize basic, clinical and translational sciences as they evolve toward a more complete understanding of stroke pathophysiology with the overall goal of developing more effective prevention and treatment. Sessions in clinical categories will center on diagnosis, acute nonendovascular treatment, in-hospital treatment, rehabilitation and recovery, pediatric stroke, prevention, experimental mechanisms and models, intracerebral hemorrhage, community/risk factors, nursing, emergency medicine, outcomes, vascular biology, and vascular cognitive impairment. Sessions in surgical and interventional categories will focus on aneurysm, acute neuroimaging, cerebrovascular occlusive disease, acute endovascular treatment, SAH and other neurocritical management, and vascular malformations.
The conference provides an educational experience for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurointerventionalists, neuroradiologists, endovascular specialists, physiatrists, emergency medicine specialists, primary care physicians, nurses, rehabilitation specialists, pharmacists, allied health professionals, and basic researchers in the major fields of cerebrovascular disease: experimental models and translational research, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation. At the conclusion of the conference, learners should be able to:
- Apply recent advances in basic models of stroke and translational research
- Evaluate recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of cerebrovascular disease
- Analyze new and ongoing clinical research advances through late-breaking science and ongoing clinical trials sessions
- Create a forum for the exchange of new research, treatment and intervention by scientists and investigators working in all areas of cerebrovascular disease
Learning Objectives
After attending the International Stroke Conference, participants will be able to:
- Describe the most recent stroke clinical trials that may impact stroke care
- Interpret neurovascular treatments and interventions that are new in stroke care
- Appraise key findings in translational and clinical stroke research
- Compare and contrast stroke in women, children and minorities
- Debate epigenetics and stroke prevention
- Assess stroke systems of care networking through technology
- Summarize novel areas of clinical and experimental stroke recovery and rehabilitation
