Restaurant Les Vieux Grenadiers
The changing world of stroke
Chairperson and speaker:
Vladimir Hachinski, London, ON, Canada
Our understanding of stroke has changed radically with the realization that the commonest types of stroke are subclinical, and their earliest manifestations are changes in executive cognitive function.
The collaboration of all the major organizations dealing with stroke, in proclaiming a World Stroke Day and a global agenda, is changing awareness about stroke and leading to more concerted efforts to combat it.
The growing sophistication of imaging and the beginning of genome wide association studies promise new insights and fresh approaches in the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of stroke.
Number of participants
Up to 50 persons
Early booking is recommended.
Price per person - € 50
In the setting of an ancient patrician residence, in fact a post lodge, you will be able to enjoy typical cuisine from Geneva.
