dwide. We hope that interventional treatments will have the same impact on stroke outcomes that they have had on heart attack outcomes over the past three decades," said Ziyad M. Hijazi, MD, MPH, FSCAI, President of SCAI. "Interventionalists are able to transfer their experience in catheter-based treatments from the heart to the brain, and together with neurologists and other specialists, we have the opportunity to dramatically impact the effects of stroke."

Health professionals and patients can find more information about stroke and advances in interventional stroke treatments at http://www.Seconds-Count.org/stroke.
