World Stroke Organization #MondayTips
Every Monday, WSA Social Media Leader Rodrigo Guerrero publishes a #MondayTip on the WSA WorldStrokeEd Twitter account, covering a specific stroke related topic. You can find a compilation of our #MondayTips here!
#MondayTip
🧠 Stroke #recovery doesn’t end at discharge
⏱️ Evidence shows rehab is often too little, too short, and too late, despite clear guidelines
👥 Early intensity, MDT teamwork, and 📅 long-term follow-up are key to better outcomes

Young Stroke: an update
☝️Stroke isn’t just an older-person disease
📈Ischemic stroke in 18–49y is⬆️,often driven by non-traditional risks
🔤Think ABC diagnostics
🎯Tailor 2ry prevention
🛑Don’t ignore long-term cognitive & psychosocial burden🧠

#MondayTip 🧠
🙅♂️Low NIHSS (0–5) ≠ mild stroke when LVO is present
❌EVT decisions ≠ NIHSS cutoffs alone
🗣️Prioritize disabling symptoms (aphasia,vision loss)
⚠️Assess END risk and imaging🩻
👤Incorporate patient values 💬, until RCT data arrive ⏳

🧠#MondayTip All Year Long
Every week, one insight
One concept
One step toward better stroke care
Thanks to everyone who learned, shared & helped turn evidence into action
Let’s keep raising the standard #together

#MondayTip
From WSO/ICAA-A Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Statement
🎯Management of antithrombotics in #CAA requires individualized, risk-balanced decision-making, given CAA’s intrinsically high risk of ICH
Phenotypic markers by @a_charidimou
Statement: https://doi.org/10.1177/17474930251365861
#MondayTip
#Extended Window thrombolysis update
🩻Imaging, not time, drives decisions
📍Context-dependent
⛔️Greatest value where EVT access is limited
🚨Non-contrast CT–based selection is emerging, not established
🎯Precision selection is essential to avoid harm

#Immunothrombosis
🩸Stroke thrombi are not inert clots
☝️They are immune-active structures
🧬Neutrophils+platelets →NETs: stronger, fibrin-rich clots
➡️harder thrombolysis
➡️longer EVT
➡️worse outcomes
🧠Stroke = thrombo-inflammatory disease

#MondayTip
👀#MRWITNESS introduced a quantitative method (qDFM) using a “signal intensity ratio”, SIR, on FLAIR
✨Provides a reliable, reproducible imaging biomarker that identifies #early ischemic tissue in unwitnessed strokes, enabling #safe IV alteplase administration
#MondayTip
Spinal Cord Infarction
#SCI is underdiagnosed
🧩A structured approach:
🔸Rapid deficits⚡️
🔸Supportive MRI🩻
🔸Non-inflammatory CSF🧪
🔸Exclusion of alternative causes🚫
your key to early recognition
☝️Accurate Dx avoids delays & harm
