year and almost 12% stroke occurs in age less than 40 years and the incidence
is increasing tremendously year by year and posing heavy burden on country's
economy. The major risk factors for stroke are diabetes, hypertension,
cardiovascular disease and mental stress. Taking cognizance of rising
incidence of Non-communicable Diseases in the country. National Programme

Stroke was launched during the 11th Five-year Plan (2007-2012) and activities
were initiated in 100 selected districts in 21 states.
This CME activity is designed to sensitize the clinicians about the
serious nature of acute ischemic stroke, update knowledge of its
pathophysiology, enhance diagnostic skills, and share recent advances
