17th Nordic Congress of Cerebrovascular Diseases (Nordic Stroke 2013), Vilnius, Lithuania
21 August 2013 - 21 August 2013
Lithuania
The 17th Nordic Congress of Cerebrovascular Diseases (Nordic Stroke 2013) will be held from 21 to 24 August 2013 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The brain is a highly sensitive organ that crucially depends on a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients by the blood stream. Already short disturbances in the blood supply may cause irreversible disabilities - or may even be fatal. In Europe, more than 1.2 million people die every year from cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke. This represents a major health challenge for the EU.
The conference will be an international exchange of knowledge and closer collaboration between specialists of cerebrovascular disease: neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, radiologists, general practitioners as well as other health professionals around the Baltic Sea. It will provide an overview of the latest clinical developments and achievements in epidemiology, diagnosis, management, prophylaxis and rehabilitation of stroke in different countries.For further information, please visit:
