Key finding: People w/ worse higher arterial stiffness & higher NfL showed the greatest cognitive deficits—especially in episodic & working memory. @TK_timoklein @J_C_MD_PhD @FannyElahi @NAASociety @VascAgeNet @Barnes_Lab @balkhaz @kevinmoncion @LBeishon @DrJMinhas.

It’s time we treat stroke like a cardiac event with structured #exercise, risk factor management, & prevention-focused rehab. Cardiac rehab model for stroke is long overdue. #StrokeRehab #CardiacRehab @TalyaFlemingMD @NatFiniPhysio @NataliaRostMD @kevinmoncion @MacstrokeCan.
Patients who experience a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke face a high risk of subsequent strokes, emphasizing the need for both short-term and long-term prevention strategies.
