Cleveland Clinic’s Future of Stroke Care provides a comprehensive exploration of cerebrovascular disease, and details the latest updates in  management.  An expert, multidisciplinary faculty focuses on improving patient outcomes through collaboration and integration of innovative practices in stroke care.  Artificial intelligence’s role in stroke prevention and diagnoses is a key area of emphasis, with presentations designed to benefit all healthcare providers involved in treatment.

Topics include: Environmental factors in stroke risk, inflammation, brain-heart connection, PFO closure, atherosclerotic disease impact, GLP-1 receptor agonists, patient centered cerebrovascular care, neurocognitive impairments, thrombolysis, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, sleep apnea, advanced neurointerventional techniques, nursing, dysphagia, multimodal neurocritical care, neurostimulants and much more.

The Meetings By Mail: Cleveland Clinic Future of Stroke Care 2025 program is best for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, emergency physicians, rehabilitation specialists, and advanced practice providers who want CME/CE‑accredited, expert‑led updates on the latest advances in stroke and cerebrovascular disease management. It is particularly valuable for clinicians who cannot attend in person but want flexible, on‑demand access to Cleveland Clinic’s multidisciplinary faculty.
