Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. If a person doesn’t get quick medical attention, stroke can cause death, or permanent disability.
It’s sometimes called a “brain attack” -- an artery in the brain becomes blocked, or a blood vessel bursts, causing bleeding in the brain. Time is brain. The faster doctors can treat a stroke, the better a patient’s chance of recovery.
University of Cincinnati neurologist Dr. Pooja Khatri and neuroradiologist Dr. Achala Vagal are leading the Verify trial for stroke patients. They’ll use two biomarkers to assess the chance for recovery. Researchers will also use MRI to screen a patient’s brain for lesions. The scientists want to determine how much of a pathway between the brain and limbs is blocked.
