A must-read by @UPensato on the probability of excellent outcomes in relation to infarct volume. Essential insights for anyone managing acute stroke care. 👏👏
Differences of ~1.5 mL, ~7 mL, and ~15 mL in infarct volume corresponded to a 1%, 5%, and 10% higher probability of mRS 0-1 in #stroke pts. Check out our ACT post-hoc analysis. @johanna_ospel @nishita_singh3 @draravindganesh @AlmekhlafiMa @lucianacatanese @American_Heart

A must read 👇
As per the new 2025 AHA hypertension guideline, for pts who have undergone successful EVT, lowering SBP to <140 should be avoided in the first 24-72 hrs, linked with worse outcome @AHAScience @ESOstroke @WorldStrokeOrg @svinsociety

The “confused”patient in the ED could be: - aphasic - inattentive - disoriented - amnestic - dysarthric - apraxic - in pain - language barrier With a broad ddx based on the specific symptomatology/exam. Avoid using the word confusion (and grip strength😋) in the ED/ward
