Because of low fitness and heart problems, people with stroke are at very high risk of a second stroke or heart attack within 10 years.

The first question people ask after suffering a stroke is: “Why?”

Tumors continuously change towards more aggressive and resistant forms.

A significant proportion of critically ill children experience delirium, a form of brain dysfunction associated with adverse outcomes.

Most brain disorders remain incurable, whether they begin during early development, as seen in Autism, or seem acquired over time, as observed in Alzheimer’s disease.

One in four strokes are caused by a condition called cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). There are no approved treatments for CSVD.

Ischemic stroke occurs when a person suffers a sudden blockage of an artery in their brain.

Carotid disease accounts for 10% of ischemic strokes and has high rate of recurrence of up to 30%-50%(1, 2).

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder.

Acute ischemic stroke represents the vast majority of strokes.
