Deans' stroke musings: Research goes high-tech to fight heart disease and stroke

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Research goes high-tech to fight heart disease and stroke

You will need to demand your doctor/hospital participate in this and maybe in 10 years or so get some useful information.

The American Heart Association is teaming up with researchers from the University of California-San Francisco to create a digitally based research network to study heart disease and stroke.
The Health eHeart Study will use technology, such as smartphones and computers, to track people’s health and habits over many years.. The research is expected to provide information on what causes cardiovascular disease and how to fight it.
The study has been positioned as a “digital Framingham” in the footsteps of the renowned Framingham Heart Study, which launched in 1948 and continues to follow cardiovascular development over decades in three generations of participants.
Researchers hope to sign up as many as 1 million people to participate. Anyone can join the study, which is being featured in a CNBC documentary airing tonight at 9 p.m. EDT.
