American Heart Association International Stroke Conference OnDemand 2026

1. Overview
The American Heart Association International Stroke Conference OnDemand 2026 provides a comprehensive, global update on the latest advancements in stroke care, cerebrovascular disease, and brain health. The program features late-breaking science, high-profile clinical trial updates, and multidisciplinary discussions ranging from acute prehospital management and neurointervention to advanced rehabilitation and the integration of artificial intelligence in stroke systems.
Course Date: 2026
2. Learning Objectives

Evaluate late-breaking science and high-profile clinical trials to inform evidence-based stroke prevention, acute management, and reperfusion strategies.

Analyze advancements in neurointervention, minimally invasive surgeries, and mechanical thrombectomy for complex cerebrovascular conditions.

Assess the impact of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and polygenic risk scores, on precision stroke diagnosis and care.

Implement multidisciplinary models of care for diverse populations, addressing global health disparities, pediatric stroke, and rural stroke management challenges.

Formulate comprehensive post-stroke recovery plans that incorporate regenerative medicine, psychosocial support, and targeted rehabilitation therapies.

3. Target Audience

Best for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and emergency medicine physicians who want updates on stroke management, neurointervention, and clinical trials.
