Article Synopsis
- Some people on airplanes are having strokes, and this is becoming an important issue to talk about.
- Researchers studied patients who had strokes while traveling and compared them to those who didn’t travel.
- They found that travelers with strokes were older and had more severe strokes, and they got treated more than those who stayed on the ground.
Background And Purpose: Patients with acute stroke and mild or rapidly improving symptoms frequently show progression. The role of reperfusion treatment in such patients is not clear. We hypothesized that progression was most likely in patients with cortical localization and such patients may benefit from thrombolysis.
