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?”

Frequent heavy use of cannabis is increasingly common in young Canadians.

Roughly 10-20% of people self-report use of cannabis during pregnancy.

Allison A. Dilliot is a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University who, through DNA sequencing, is looking to identify structural variant signatures unique to ALS cases.

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.
