A new video series in Pacific languages aims to bust health myths surrounding stroke.

Photo: Supplied/AUT Every year,10,000 people suffer a stroke in Aotearoa, making it the country s third biggest killer, responsible for one in 10 deaths. Rita Krishnmurthi is the deputy director of the National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neurosciences at AUT.

ESO guidelines provide recommendations on intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke Patients with stroke due to blood clots in brain arteries ( ischaemic stroke ) can be treated with clot-dissolving drugs called thrombolytics . By dissolving blood clots, thrombolytic drugs improve brain blood supply and lead to better recovery. However, thrombolytic drugs may cause bleeding in the brain which can lead to worse disability or death. The most commonly used thrombolytic drug for ischemic stroke is called alteplase. Related Stories The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines on intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke provides forty recommendations on the use of thrombolytic drugs. The module working group, led by Guillaume Turc, William Whiteley and the late Eivind Berge, has written evidence-based recommendations and expert consensus statements covering the topics of early and late time windows, stroke of unknown onset, advanced imaging, alteplase and tenecteplase, minor and severe strokes, patients over 80 or with previous disability or frailty, and potential risk factors for bleeding including use of oral anticoagulants.

E-Mail DALLAS, Jan. 25, 2021 The continued global burden of stroke and how it disproportionately affects women are highlighted in new science published online today in the February issue of Stroke, a journal of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association. Stroke editors selected nine manuscripts focused on stroke disparities in women in this collaboration with Go Red for Women®, the Association s global movement to end heart disease and stroke in women. Stroke continues to be a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with women being more adversely affected by the global burden of stroke, said Stroke Editor-In-Chief Ralph L. Sacco, M.D., M.S., FAHA, a past president of the American Heart Association. As our population ages, the number of stroke survivors will continue to rise, especially among women. We must include more women in stroke research so we can enhance the critical evidence necessary to provide the appropriate stroke treatments needed to save and improve lives.
