Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for patients with cerebral ischemic symptoms continues to evolve—even the definitions are changing. Using a case-based approach, the speaker will explore the latest AHA definition of TIA, the ED workup and treatment, and admission criteria for patients with suspected TIA. A discussion on the latest options related to the emergency management of stroke patients including imaging and anticoagulation will be included. The controversies regarding thrombolytic agents in acute stroke also will be explored.

  • Discuss the latest updates in the management of TIA, including evaluation and admission criteria in order to maximize safety in these patients.
  • Identify diagnostic tests that should be performed urgently in patients with a TIA or CVA in order to find and treat the underlying vascular lesion and improve the quality of care.
  • Describe current controversies in the emergency management of acute stroke patients and understand the implications in your patients.
  • Discuss the most recent anti-platelet treatments in patients with acute stroke and TIA to reduce subsequent events in these patients.
