Using Novel Approaches for Early Recognition of TIA, Heart Failure, and Connections with Vascular Dementia (UNEARTH CVD)
Project Overview
In this program, we will study: 1) patients with stroke, which occurs when blood flow is stopped to a part of the brain causing weakness or loss of sensation;2) patients with heart failure which is when the heart does not pump properly or does not relax; 3) patients with dementia,…
