The goal of this program is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of stroke and dementia. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Treat patients with atrial fibrillation at risk for stroke.
2. Manage brain hemorrhage associated with anticoagulation.
3. Diagnose and treat Alzheimer disease (AD).
4. Identify biomarkers that differentiate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from AD.
5. Use clinical examination, imaging, and biomarkers to diagnose other dementias, eg, DLB, frontotemporal dementias, vascular cognitive impairment.
