Primeiro consenso brasileiro do tratamento da fase aguda do acidente vascular cerebral

Abstract

With the increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology of the ischemic insult, and the possibility of the thrombolysis in the acute phase, the management of the stroke patients is considered an emergency. This consensus is the result of a recent meeting to establish a better approach to these patients. This is the official guideline for the management of patients with acute stroke of the Brazilian Cerebrovascular Disease Society.
