Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Stroke in the young accounts for up to 10%-15% of all strokes and recent data suggest an increasing trend in ischemic stroke in this population. Patients under 50 years of age often do not present with classic signs and symptoms of stroke and their neurologic symptoms are usually attributed to other causes due to their young age and lack of comorbid conditions. In this session we discuss some common and not-so-common causes of stroke in the young and describe prevention strategies and acute treatment options.Learners must attend/view/read the entire activity and complete the associated evaluation to be awarded the contact hours or CERP. No partial credit will be awarded.
