Since the prior publication of AHA/ASA guidelines for acute ischemic stroke management over five years ago, major research progress has taken place in acute stroke care. Interventions such as mechanical thrombectomy have been refined by results of major clinical trials while other medical treatments have also been modified. Acute stroke treatment reflects a stage in stroke care where cardiology and vascular neurology frequently overlap, exemplifying the intersection of cardiac and brain health at a most impactful time.
