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.

Predicting stroke in patients without atrial fibrillation

You lazy fuckers. We don't need more prediction crapola. We need solutions to all the problems in stroke.  I blame our fucking failures of stroke associations

for not setting up and following a stroke strategy leading to 100% recovery.

We want 100% recovery. GET THERE!

Predicting stroke in patients without atrial fibrillation

European Journal of Clinical Investigation — Steensig K, et al. | April 15, 2019

In patients without atrial fibrillation, researchers ascertained if the CHA2DS2-VASc score can predict the risk of atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic events. For this investigation, coronary angiography patients were grouped according to CHA2DS2-VASc score between 2004 and 2012. A total of 78,233 patients with group sizes ranging between 8,299 (CHA2DS2-VASc >4) and 19,882 (CHA2DS2-VASc 2) were included. The CHA2DS2-VASc score predicted a future diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and the composite risk of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or systemic embolism in patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing coronary angiography. In a patient with atrial fibrillation, a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 3 was related to a risk that would justify prophylactic oral anticoagulation treatment.
