During a #stroke, Black Americans arrive later to emergency departments — which are less likely to be notified of a patient’s condition ahead of time, a national study in Circulation shows: michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/bla…

The research, led by Regina Royan, MD MPH, Brian Stamm, MD MSc and Tracy Madsen MD PhD, foundĀ that it took nearly 30 minutes longer for a Black patient to be brought in for emergency care after displaying symptoms of a stroke. EMS was also ~20% less likely to notify the ED ahead of arrival.

A carotid occlusion on a CTA is sometimes difficult to distinguish if acute or chronic. Often, there are no prior images available. Below are some hints that a cervical carotid occlusion is acute or subacute as opposed to chronic. #stroke #MedEd #neurotwitter

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, but not all hospitals have access to the most advanced stroke care interventions. Telestroke services can increase that access. For stroke, Time = Brain. Telestroke can get a person potentially lifesaving treatment faster. #StrokeMonth

May is National Stroke Awareness Month. Here are some tips from a neurologist to help reduce your risk and save your brain. And remember F.A.S.T. (Face, Arm, Speech, Time to call 911). Time is Brain!

High blood pressure is often called the ā€œsilent killerā€ because it doesn’t have noticeable symptoms. Jessie Roberts, a U-M Health nurse practitioner from our stroke clinic, is here with key tips on how to stay on top of hypertension and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Nearly 90% of strokes are ischemic, meaning blood flow is blocked by a clot that stops brain cells from getting oxygen. There are several lifesaving stroke treatments, but not every person receives the same one. Neurologist Joe Carrera, MD explains: michmed.org/PYGP7
