This is a very exciting time in the field of cerebrovascular disease. The rate of discovery of new diagnostic and therapeutics for stroke has never been greater. The ISC 2011 program emphasizes basic, clinical and translational sciences as they evolve toward a more complete understanding of stroke pathophysiology with the overall goal of developing more effective prevention and treatment. Stroke systems of care, quality and outcomes are also key parts of the conference. Welcome to the International Stroke Conference 2011. Once again we come together to learn and share. The scientific and clinical content presented at this conference provides the basis for the American Stroke Association’s ongoing professional education programs. The program emphasizes basic, clinical and translational sciences as they evolve toward a more complete understanding of stroke pathophysiology with the overall goal of developing more effective prevention and treatment. The International Stroke Conference provides unique opportunities to meet with colleagues from around the world with wide-ranging research interests and expertise in stroke prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Last year’s professional attendance was one of the highest in the conference’s history. This year we anticipate more than 4,000 professional attendees, as well as exhibitors displaying new stroke products and services. We are truly dedicated to the international nature of this conference with attendees, presenters and faculty coming from all corners of the world. I would like to draw your attention to the special awards and lectures that are hallmarks of the International Stroke Conference. These include the William M Feinberg Award for Excellence in Clinical Stroke, the Robert G Siekert New Investigator Award in Stroke, the Mordecai Y T Globus New Investigator Award, the Stroke Care in Emergency Medicine Award, the David G Sherman Lecture and the Willis Lecture. The 2011 program offers a pre-conference nursing symposium and, new this year, a pre-conference emergency medicine, general neurology and primary care physician symposium. The ISC will include invited symposia, debates, oral scientific abstract presentations and posters, as well as special lectures on recent advances and state-of-the-art technologies. This conference is intended for neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, emergency medicine physicians, physiatrists, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and primary care doctors who care for stroke patients. Additionally, the ISC is just as much home for basic scientists, clinical scientists, stroke program coordinators, policy makers and public health officials who work in the stroke field. The Council on Cardiovascular Nursing has planned another extraordinary pre-conference symposium. The State-of-the-Art Stroke Nursing Symposium will be held Feb 8, 2011. The program will include topics in: Clinical Research and Practice; Essentials of Standard Clinical Practice and Stroke Center Development; Rehabilitation and Recovery; and Professional Development The new pre-conference emergency medicine, general neurology and primary care physician symposium will highlight scientific advances in cerebrovascular disease while emphasizing their application in the real world. A main focus will be on optimizing evidence-based management (TIA workup, thrombolytic treatment, basic CT/MRI interpretation, and more) of the stroke or TIA patient encountered in the emergency department. The International Stroke Conference will feature special symposia on a number of topics including: Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke; Endovascular Management of SAH; Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting Versus Endarterectomy (Debate); Imaging in Acute Ischemic Stroke Trials; Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy; Early DNR Orders in ICH (Debate); Evidence-Based Nursing; Stroke Issues in the Elderly; Gender Differences in Stroke; Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Depression; Emergency Medical Services A reminder that seating is limited and tickets are required for some of the additional activities sponsored by the Stroke Council. If you haven’t done so already, I urge you to register for these informative events which provide you with opportunities to network with colleagues from around the world.

The Guidelines are the cornerstone of the lifesaving CPR training materials produced by the American Heart Association and are updated every five years. They reflect new global resuscitation science and treatment recommendations as agreed upon by leading scientists, researchers, healthcare providers and first responders. The Handbook of ECC for Healthcare Providers, created from the Guidelines, is a vital reference for all emergency healthcare providers. This tool provides quick access to the latest lifesaving resuscitation science and treatment information.

Program Committee Bruce Ovbiagele, MD, MSc, FAHA Ted Wein, MD, FRCPC, FAHA Vena Ricketts, MD, FACEP Steven Greenberg, MD, PhD Lewis Morgenstern, MD, FAHA Symposium Description The Pre-Conference Symposium of the International Stroke Conference is designed to provide up-to-date information for healthcare professionals caring for patients with, or at risk for stroke. This one-day symposium highlights scientific advances in cerebrovascular disease while emphasizing their application in the real world. The symposium informs the audience about issues along the full continuum of stroke care, and covers varied topics of interest to healthcare providers working in the emergency department, hospitalist settings, primary care, general neurology, pharmacies, and other stroke care arenas. This year, a main focus will be on optimizing evidence-based management (TIA work-up, thrombolytic treatment, basic CT/MRI interpretation, and more) of the stroke or TIA patient encountered in the emergency department. There will also be a discussion of the implications of the most recent stroke prevention trials and an opportunity to have your own most challenging stroke cases discussed by renowned stroke experts. Learning Objectives After participating in this activity, participants will be able to: Discuss new recommendations for the administration of tPA in acute stroke patients. Identify opportunities within their own institution to improve adherence to national guidelines for stroke care. Describe the incidence and presentation of stroke in women. Discuss recent data regarding the use of telestroke medicine and “drip-and-ship” protocols. Identify opportunities to improve communication regarding stroke patients with vascular neurologists, including the use of telestroke protocols. Identify opportunities for secondary stroke prevention within the emergency department.

PROFESSOR-LED POSTER TOURS AND POSTER SESSIONS During the ISC 2011 poster sessions, there will be both Professor-Led Poster Tours and Regular Poster Sessions. The Professor-Led Poster Tours are organized by poster category. Leaders in the stroke field will take groups of conference attendees around 6 speaker-attended posters ordered by category. Each poster presenter will have approximately 2 minutes to present the highlights of his or her work, followed by 3 minutes for a Q&A from attendees. There are 15 different poster tours to select from during each Poster Tour Session. To be a part of a Poster Tour, please turn to pg 93 and pg 151 in the Poster Abstracts section of the Final Program and decided which section/category of posters you would like to attend during each of the two Poster Tour Sessions. Five - ten minutes prior to the Poster Tour Session start time, simply go to the correspondingly numbered “Section” sign for that section/category of posters. During the Regular Poster Sessions, poster presenters will stand by their poster for individual Q&A time with attendees; they will not give a formal presentation. These posters are separate and not a part of the Professor-Led Poster Tours.
