Stroke Alert August 2022

<p>On Episode 19 of the <em>Stroke Alert</em> Podcast, host Dr. Negar Asdaghi highlights two articles from the August 2022 issue of <em>Stroke</em>: “<a href= "https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.038221">Direct to Angiosuite Versus Conventional Imaging in Suspected Large Vessel Occlusion</a>” and “<a href= "https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.038239">Recurrent Ischemic Stroke and Bleeding in Patients With AF Who Suffered an Acute Stroke While on Treatment With NOACs</a>.” She also interviews Dr. Alexander Nave about “<a href= "https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.122.038732">Combined Oral Triglyceride and Glucose Tolerance Test After Acute Ischemic Stroke to Predict Recurrent Vascular Events</a>.”</p> <p>Dr. Negar Asdaghi:         Let's start with a few questions.</p> <p>1) How much time do we actually save if we were to transfer all patients with suspected target vessel occlusion directly to the angiosuite and practically bypassing our current conventional imaging model?</p> <p>2) What is the impact of an impaired metabolic state as measured by abnormal glucose and triglyceride tolerance tests on the risk of stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke?</p> <p>3) And finally, should we or should we not change the anticoagulant therapy of a patient with atrial fibrillation who suffered an ischemic stroke despite appropriate treatment with anticoagulation?</p> <p>We have the answers to these questions and much more in today's podcast because this is the best in <em>Stroke</em>. Stay with us.</p> <p>Dr. Negar Asdaghi:         Welcome back to another issue of the <em>Stroke Alert</em> Podcast. My name is Negar Asdaghi.
