Do not wait for an online consultation response.

Use B.E. F.A.S.T. to recognise the sudden warning signs of stroke.

B.E. F.A.S.T. warning signs

Balance
Sudden loss of balance, coordination, dizziness or difficulty walking.
Eyes
Sudden blurred or double vision, or loss of sight in one or both eyes.
Face
One side of the face droops or feels numb. Ask the person to smile.
Arms
One arm is weak or numb, or drifts down when both arms are raised.
Speech
Speech is slurred, confused or difficult to understand.
Time
Call immediately and note the exact time symptoms started or were last absent.

Every minute matters. Call even if the symptoms improve or disappear. Rapid hospital assessment and brain imaging can open access to time-sensitive treatment.

2nd Hellenic Stroke School+: advancing cerebrovascular care in Athens

The 2nd Hellenic Stroke School+ will take place on 19–21 November 2026 at the Divani Caravel in Athens, expanding from acute ischaemic stroke to aneurysms, AVMs, vasculitides and venous disease through imaging sessions, live interaction and hands-on workshops. Dr Theodosios Tsinas serves on the organising committee and contributes as a recognised speaker and workshop instructor on neurointerventional devices.

CREST-2: carotid stenting for severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis

In 1,245 patients with at least 70% carotid stenosis and no recent symptoms, stenting plus intensive medical therapy reduced the 4-year primary-outcome rate to 2.8%, compared with 6.0% with intensive medical therapy alone. Periprocedural events still occurred, so individual selection, experienced operators and continued risk-factor control remain essential.

BRAIN 2026: global neurovascular collaboration in London

BRAIN Conference returns to London from 7–9 December 2026 at Convene, 155 Bishopsgate. Three days bring together international neurovascular experts for scientific exchange, practical discussion and multidisciplinary collaboration.
