After someone has a life-changing stroke, they have to adjust to the new normal.

First and foremost, stroke is recurrent, stroke is 80% preventable, and our duty is to make sure that this never happens again as much as possible.

So we really want to address secondary prevention, what are the risk factors, making sure that the best evidence-based guidelines are followed to prevent stroke, and also how we can how we can create a new normal together is what really the expectation would be.

And also work with the patients and their families to make sure that they understand what to expect moving forward,

how we can impact beyond the acute phase, and then in the future as advances come through and as the field continues to evolve, how we can continue to serve our patients and serve people who have subovascular disease.
