Important results demonstrating improved prevention of MACE with intensive long-term BP lowering to systolic <120 mm Hg in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA. Congrats to @GiseleSampaioS and the trial team! @jamaryfilho @opontesnetoMD @sheilambrasil
OPTIMAL stroke trial shows 21% reduction in primary endpoint with targeting SBP<120 compared to SBP<140. 2.6% ARR. renal side effects more common with intensive lowering. Congrats to investigators @NEJM @WorldStrokeOrg @ESOstroke
Happy World Stroke Day!

Hot off the press 🔥🔥🔥.
A case report and literature review on a rare phenomenon after mechanical thrombectomy for ischemic stroke. Feel free to reach out with any questions. #stroke

I had the opportunity to share some insight on one of my patients in the newspaper 'The Daily Herald'. Truly honored his story was published during Stroke Awareness Month.
Enjoy and please share. #stroke #strokeawareness #strokerecovery #strokesurvivor

New guidelines on lipid management. Interestingly, we should target LDL < 55 for very high risk patients. Lp(a) should be routinely obtained as well
Patients with intracranial athero should now be targeted to LDL<55 mg/dl, given the new ACC/AHA lipid guidelines. This should be adopted in CAPTIVA and other ongoing trials, as well as routine practice @BrianHoh1 @ESOstroke @WorldStrokeOrg @AHAScience

Every year in the United States, >600000 individuals have a first ischemic stroke and approximately 200000 more have a recurrent stroke.
This guideline aims to incorporate this updated evidence in order to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive set of recommendations for the acute evaluation and management of patients with AIS.

Fantastic results from the CREST2 trial at the SVIN 2025 Annual Meeting. #SVIN2025, #carotidstenosis, #stroke
Some interesting patient cases I encountered when I was a vascular neurology fellow. Dural arteriovenous fistula leading to cognitive impairment (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4082…) and ear pain with dizziness (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3908…). Enjoy!

Cocaine-related ischemic strokes may have a higher association with large artery atherosclerosis. Read it in this 'letter to the editor' in Journal of Stroke. @sachinkothari94

Excited to have attended the 2025 International Stroke Conference. It was an incredible opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in stroke medicine, connect with fellow professionals, and exchange insights with experts in the field.

Hot off the press 🔥🔥🔥, mechanical thrombectomy for distal medium vessel occlusions (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3953…). Published @JSCVD2. Kudos to the research team: @batoolaldaher @DrRamiMorsi @sachinkothari94 @Harsh_Desai_1 @EArmbrecht @JimSiegler @TareqKass
At long last, I have achieved my lifelong dream of becoming a STROKE NEUROLOGIST. @bcmneurology @bcmhouston
