The American Heart Association estimates that there is a US stroke victim every 40 seconds. As health care providers, we carry an obligation to recognize signs and symptoms of an impending stroke and act promptly according to the prevailing guidelines. For acute ischemia of the retina or optic nerve, we share the identical immediacy to promptly diagnose and initiate management.
This 4-hour online symposium* brings together a team of interprofessional specialists to share seminal and timely information on stroke in 2022. The speakers will engage the audience with topics including the morbidity and mortality risk and developing a plan of action when presented with a stroke victim, retinal artery occlusions, and overarching parallel stroke threat, to better distinguish arteritic from non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy and the underlying pathophysiology, and analysis of neuroplasticity and prognosis for functional and visual recovery after stroke.
