Abstract:
Dramatic advances in recent years have changed the care of stroke patients. Creation of stroke hubs with centers and units achieved a significant reduction in mortality and morbidity. The indications for acute therapies such as intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular treatment target an increasing proportion of stroke patients. Early rehabilitation and multidisciplinary approaches have become part of the gold standard in stroke care. The creation of additional stroke units and strengthening local synergies should continue in order to propose the best medical treatments for all stroke patients.

Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
