How do you balance Alzheimer's disease treatment with the need for anticoagulation or antithrombotic therapy? The framework highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration among neurology, cardiology, pharmacy, primary care, and other clinical teams to support individualized treatment decisions. It also identifies key evidence gaps that will require future research as antiamyloid therapies become more integrated into clinical practice.

This focuses on the role of nonvascular physical and psychological risk factors that affect brain health, ranging from the exposures experienced during early development and childhood brain maturation to the influences leading to neurodegeneration and decline in older adults.

Stroke accounts for 4-6% of maternal deaths in the U.S. and remains a rare but life-threatening complication of pregnancy, with significant implications for both maternal and fetal health. This scientific statement addresses key information related to maternal stroke in pregnancy and in the postpartum period. ✍🏼 @tmadsenem @humich @RocChenMD @nataliebello9 @atitapatterns @pitthealthsci

Support your colleagues at a poster session, then join them for some hands-on learning in the Simulation Zone. Thursday is packed with opportunities to connect at #ISC26. 🎧 Don’t forget your headphones for the digital oral posters! 🎧

Published today, Prevention and Treatment of Maternal Stroke in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association. This statement discusses both the physiology and pathophysiology of pregnancy. Included within is hypertension disorders of pregnancy (HDPs). 📷 Mechanisms of maternal stroke ✍🏼 @tmadsenem @humich @RocChenMD @nataliebello9 @atitapatterns @pitthealthsci

Join us before #ISC26 for a full day on brain health. You’ll hear the latest on cognitive decline, the heart-brain connection, and neuroimaging and biomarker discovery, designed to help you deliver the best to your patients.

Brain imaging is essential to exclude hemorrhage in adult and pediatric patients eligible for AIS reperfusion therapies. Although CT-based protocols are more efficient and generalizable, MRI-based protocols may be appropriate in high-resource settings and in pediatric populations if similar time to imaging can be achieved as with CT. 📷 ASPECTS: Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score. ✍🏼 @annealexandrov @AlexandraCzap @OanaDumitrascu5Koto @ashupjadhav @BarrowNeuro @SVINjournal @PoojaKhatriMD @wtkimberly @brianmacgrory @tmadsenem @eva_mistry @natperezossa @strokemaven @PSporns @stavtjoumakaris @WFNeurosurgery @shadiyaghi2

Every year in the United States, >600000 individuals have a first ischemic stroke and approximately 200000 more have a recurrent stroke. This guideline aims to incorporate this updated evidence in order to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive set of recommendations for the acute evaluation and management of patients with AIS. ✍🏼 @annealexandrov @AlexandraCzap @OanaDumitrascu5Koto @ashupjadhav @BarrowNeuro @SVINjournal @PoojaKhatriMD @wtkimberly @brianmacgrory @tmadsenem @eva_mistry @natperezossa @strokemaven @PSporns @stavtjoumakaris @WFNeurosurgery @shadiyaghi2

The 2026 Guideline for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke aims to cover the full course of the emergency evaluation and early management of the patient with AIS. This includes the earliest interaction with the health care system in the prehospital space, early evaluation and treatment, and in-hospital management of patients with AIS. 📷 Journey of a patient with AIS. ✍🏼 @annealexandrov @AlexandraCzap @OanaDumitrascu5Koto @ashupjadhav @BarrowNeuro @SVINjournal @PoojaKhatriMD @wtkimberly @brianmacgrory @tmadsenem @eva_mistry @natperezossa @strokemaven @PSporns @stavtjoumakaris @WFNeurosurgery @shadiyaghi2

Apply now to be a Sacco Scholar. This scholarship from the American Heart Association & @AANmember honors the legacy of Dr. Ralph Sacco by funding postdoctoral researchers working to prevent brain diseases and advance brain health for all.

This AHA scientific statement discusses the pathogenic mechanisms that link three prevalent cardiac diseases of adults: ➡️Heart failure ➡️Atrial fibrillation ➡️Coronary heart disease These are three disorders that can lead to cognitive impairment and poor brain health.
