A major stroke can hit without warning and leave a broken body and a damaged mind in its wake. But there are ways to prevent strokes, even among high-risk groups. This program looks at anticoagulation and its role in averting strokes and other devastating conditions. Viewers learn how doctors identify risk factors in patients and how certain treatments can stop blood clots from forming and making their way to the brain. Subjects include ischemic strokes, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages, blood clot formation, DVT, stroke symptoms, treatments by type of stroke, anti-thrombotic therapy, and telestroke. Commentary comes from Dr. Mark Alberts and Dr. Robert Bonow of Northwestern University.
