Dear Colleague: 

Welcome to the International Stroke Conference 2012! This is a very exciting 

time in the field of cerebrovascular disease. The rate of discovery of new 

diagnostic and therapeutics for stroke has never been greater. The ISC 

program emphasizes basic, clinical and translational sciences as they evolve 

toward a more complete understanding of stroke pathophysiology with the 

overall goal of developing more effective prevention and treatment. Stroke 

systems of care, quality and outcomes are also key parts of the conference. 

The International Stroke Conference provides unique opportunities to meet 

with colleagues from around the world with wide-ranging research interests 

and expertise in stroke prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. 

This year, we anticipate more than 3,700 professional attendees, as well as 

exhibitors displaying new stroke products and services. We are truly 

dedicated to the international nature of this conference with attendees, 

presenters and faculty coming from all corners of the world. 

The 2012 program offers two separate pre-conference symposia: the Stateof-the-Art 

Stroke Nursing Symposium and the Innovative Clinical Practice in 

Stroke Rehabilitation Symposium. The main days of the ISC include invited 

symposia; debates; oral scientific abstract presentations; and scientific 

posters that focus on all aspects of stroke, as well as special lectures on 

recent advances and state-of-the-art technologies. This conference is 

intended for neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, emergency medicine 

physicians, physiatrists, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and primary care 

doctors who care for stroke patients. Additionally, the ISC is just as much 

home for basic scientists, clinical scientists, stroke program coordinators, 

policy makers and public health officials who work in the stroke field. 

The Council on Cardiovascular Nursing has planned another extraordinary 

pre-conference symposium. The State-of-the-Art Stroke Nursing Symposium 

2012 program will include topics in: Clinical Research and Practice; 

Essentials of Standard Clinical Practice and Stroke Center Development; 

Rehabilitation and Recovery; Professional Development; and dysphagia. 

The ISC pre-conference symposium will focus on rehabilitation from a 

clinical viewpoint including: clinical interventions; aphasia; practical issues 

on driving post-stroke; the role of anti-depressants in recovery; painful 

post-stroke syndromes for the shoulder; spasticity; and novel treatments in 

stroke rehabilitation including robotics, virtual reality and electrical 

stimulation. 

The International Stroke Conference will feature special symposia on a 

number of topics including: Stroke in the Context of the UN Actions on 

NCDs; Ethics of Device Use for Acute Stroke Intervention (Debate); Advances 

in Stroke Rehabilitation; Intracranial Stenting and SAMMPRIS Trial: Lessons 

Learned for Current Management and Future Trials; Preventing Stroke 

in Economically Disadvantaged Populations; and Acute Stroke: Quest for 

Excellence (Nursing) . 

This year, not only will you have the opportunity to experience exceptional 

education and cutting edge technology, you will also have the chance to see 

the exciting, vibrant city of New Orleans. 

Thank you for joining us for this unique event. For 

the most current conference information, please 

visit strokeconference.org. And don’t forget to 

mark your calendar for next year, Feb 6 - 8, 2013, 

in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii.

Posters 

Professor-Led Poster Tours and Regular Poster Sessions 

During the ISC 2012 poster sessions, there will be both Professor-Led 

Poster Tours and Regular Poster Sessions. The Professor-Led Poster Tours 

are organized by poster category. Leaders in the stroke field will take 

groups of conference attendees around 6 speaker-attended posters ordered 

by category. Each poster presenter will have approximately 2 minutes to 

present the highlights of his or her work, followed by 3 minutes for a Q&A 

from attendees. There are 15 different poster tours to select from during 

each Poster Tour Session. 

To be a part of a Poster Tour, please turn to pg 99 and pg 160 in the Poster 

Abstracts section of the Final Program and decided which section/category 

of posters you would like to attend during each of the two Poster Tour 

Sessions. Five – ten minutes prior to the Poster Tour Session start time, 

simply go to the correspondingly numbered “Section” sign for that section/ 

category of posters. 

During the Regular Poster Sessions, poster presenters will stand by 

their poster for individual Q&A time with attendees; they will not give a 

formal presentation. These posters are separate and not a part of the 

Professor-Led Poster Tours. To see the posters in the Regular Poster 

Session, please turn to pg 113 and pg 174 in the Poster Abstracts section 

of the Final Program. 

A map of the Poster Hall is available at the front of the Poster Abstracts 

Section; it will highlight the Professor-Led Poster Tour sections and the 

Regular Poster sections. 

Posters will be available for viewing in the Poster Hall (Hall B) from 9:00 am 

– 6:45 pm on Wednesday, Feb 1 and Thursday, Feb 2. The speakerattended 

poster sessions will take place at the following times: 

Wednesday, Feb 1

Symposium Description 

The Pre-Conference Symposium of the International Stroke Conference is 

designed to provide up-to-date information for healthcare professionals 

caring for patients with, or at risk for stroke. Each year, this one-day 

symposium highlights scientific advances in cerebrovascular disease while 

emphasizing their application in the real world. The symposium informs 

the audience about issues along the full continuum of stroke care and 

covers varied topics of interest to healthcare providers working in the 

emergency department, hospitalist settings, primary care, general 

neurology, rehabilitation, pharmacies, and other stroke care arenas. This 

year, a main focus will be on rehabilitation from a clinical viewpoint 

including: clinical interventions; aphasia; practical issues on driving poststroke; 

the role of anti-depressants in recovery; painful post-stroke 

syndromes for the shoulder; and spasticity. There will also be a session on 

novel treatments in stroke rehabilitation including robotics, virtual reality 

and electrical stimulation. 

Learning Objectives 

After participating in this activity, participants will be able to: 

� Identify interventions to improve mobility and prevent falls in stroke 

survivors. 

� Assess aphasia in stroke patients, and predict treatment and response 

to rehabilitation. 

� Summarize the role of antidepressants in post-stroke recovery. 

� Recognize the different etiologies of a painful shoulder in stroke 

patients and their treatment. 

� Identify post-stroke spasticity and explain predictors, therapies and the 

need for follow-up. 

� Describe the potential use of robotics, electrical stimulation and virtual 

reality in post stroke rehabilitation.

PROFESSOR-LED POSTER TOURS AND POSTER SESSIONS 

During the ISC 2012 poster sessions, there will be both 

Professor-Led Poster Tours and Regular Poster Sessions. The 

Professor-Led Poster Tours are organized by poster category. 

Leaders in the stroke field will take groups of conference 

attendees around 6 speaker-attended posters ordered by 

category. Each poster presenter will have approximately 2 

minutes to present the highlights of his or her work, followed 

by 3 minutes for a Q&A from attendees. There are 15 different 

poster tours to select from during each Poster Tour Session. 

To be a part of a Poster Tour, please turn to pg 99 (Wednesday) 

and pg 160 (Thursday) in the Poster Abstracts section of the 

Final Program and decided which section/category of posters 

you would like to attend during each of the two Poster Tour 

Sessions. Five - ten minutes prior to the Poster Tour Session 

start time, simply go to the correspondingly numbered 

“Section” sign for that section/category of posters. 

During the Regular Poster Sessions, poster presenters will 

stand by their poster for individual Q&A time with attendees; 

they will not give a formal presentation. These posters are 

separate and not a part of the Professor-Led Poster Tours. To 

see the posters in the Regular Poster Session, please turn to 

pg 113 (Wednesday) and pg 174 (Thursday) in the Poster 

Abstracts section of the Final Program. 

For the most current poster moderator and poster information, 

please check the online Program Planner on the ISC Web site 

at strokeconference.org.

CEDARS-SINAI. 

LEADING THE QUEST 

IN STROKE CARE. 

• Cedars-Sinai has been certifi ed by Joint Commission as a 

Primary Stroke Center since 2008. 

• Cedars-Sinai has received the American Heart Association/ 

American Stroke Association Get With The Guidelines ®—Stroke 

Gold or Gold Plus award annually since 2005. 

• The Chair of the Department of Neurology, Patrick Lyden, MD, is 

a leading research expert on cerebrovascular disease and potential 

treatments for stroke. 

• Michael Alexander, MD, Director of the Cedars-Sinai 

Neurovascular Center, is the President-Elect of the Society of 

NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS). 

• Cedars-Sinai is contributing to NIH clinical trials in stroke: 

SAMMPRIS: Recently confi rmed the value of aggressive 

risk-factor management in stroke prevention. 

ICTuS 2/3: The largest study of hypothermia for acute stroke. 

Dr. Lyden is the PI of this multicenter protocol, funded through 

SPOTRIAS grants from NINDS to the University of California, 

San Diego and the University of Texas at Houston. 

CLEAR IVH: A study using recombinant tissue plasminogen 

activator ICH, IVH and hydrocephalus. The aim of the study is to 

determine whether rapid removal of IVH clot with low-dose rtPA 

improves modifi ed Rankin scores at six months compared to 

subjects treated with best medical care alone. 

MR RESCUE: Compares the eff ectiveness of treatment with 

mechanical embolectomy within eight hours of symptom onset to 

standard medical treatment, and identifi es people who might benefi t 

from the devices based on penumbral imaging with CT or MRI.
