Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Early management of stroke is important in reducing core size and salvaging penumbra by various re-perfusion techniques. Early identification, prehospital care, rapid transport, telemedicine and various apps for stroke leading to fast-paced management which subsequently prevent disability and mortality in AIS. Advances in various diagnostic modalities like automated software and treatment modalities in treatment by newer agents in intravenous(IV) thrombolysis and novel techniques mechanical thromectomy is providing hope for better future in stroke management. Understanding of pathophysiology is utmost important in upcoming research in stroke and ultimately best patient care.
