Incidence and Secondary Prevention of Stroke during Pregnancy
This past Friday The Heart & Stroke Canadian Stroke Best Practice Consensus Statement: Secondary Stroke Prevention during Pregnancy was released. This statement provides the first broad-based, stroke-specific guidance around secondary stroke prevention in pregnancy. The first part of a two part series, this statement focuses on unique aspects of secondary stroke prevention in a woman with a prior history of stroke or transient ischemic attack who is, or is planning to become, pregnant. During this webinar participants will learn more about the current rates of stroke occurring in pregnancy, and secondary prevention of stroke management considerations and strategies during pregnancy as addressed in the consensus statement. Some highlights of the acute stroke management during pregnancy consensus statement will also be presented. Participants will hear directly from the writing group Chairs, and engage in a question and answer period with them.
