Learning Objectives:

• To review the role of lipids on the pathogeneses of ischemic & hemorrhagic stroke
• To evaluate the effectiveness of lipid modifying agents in stroke prevention
• To assess the risks and benefits of statins for stroke prevention

Please note that Behavioural Neurology Rounds on April 2 are different in that we are joining the NWO Regional Stroke Network via video teleconference for their presentation. These rounds are once every two months. The BN Rounds planning committee would appreciate feedback on these stroke rounds and whether we should continue to join with the stroke group once every two months for rounds.

Also, please note that the NWO Regional Stroke Rounds are not accredited under the MOC Royal College Program. I believe that the stroke group are trying to change this. Thus the April 2 round is not accredited under Section 1. You can claim Section 2 credits or use the round as a stimulus for a Personal Learning Project.

This event will be videoconferenced from Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre

We gratefully acknowledge educational grants from Lundbeck Canada Inc., Novartis Inc., and Pfizer Canada which support these rounds
