January 19th, 2018 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit Hours
Description
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) was once an obscure cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Participants will learn that it currently is the second most important cause of ICH following hypertension and will continue to gain importance as our population ages.
Dates and Times
Start: 1/19/2018 8:00 AM
End: 1/19/2018 9:00 AM
Objectives
- Participants will become familiar with the neuro imaging markers of CAA and the underlying pathophysiology which explains its clinical manifestations. They will be able to explain the important interrelationship between CAA and Alzheimer's Disease.
- Participants will come to understand the clinical manifestations and clinical consequences of this increasingly common neurodegenerative disease of the elderly and how it impacts ischemic stroke diagnosis, stroke treatment and both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke prevention. Several clinical cases will be used to illustrate these points.
