Join former AHA Presidents Dr. Bob Harrington and Dr. Ivor Benjamin along with other thought leaders for an engaging roundtable conversation in regards to the 2021 AHA/ACC Ethics and Professionalism Report.
Building on the AHA’s long history of leadership in the areas of medical ethics and professionalism, this roundtable discussion will include reflections on specific issues such as:
- shared clinical decision-making
- the relationship of clinicians with patients, other clinicians, and organizations

Posterior Circulation Strokes
Challenges in Recognition and Diagnosis of Acute Ischemic Stroke from Vertebrobasilar Disease
Posterior Circulation Stroke is diagnosed on the basis of history and clinical examination, assisted by imaging. This is the first webinar in our series on posterior circulation strokes where the clinical history and presentation of acute ischemic stroke caused by basilar artery and vertebral artery occlusion is reviewed along with a discussion of imaging modalities useful for diagnosis and a review of populations most at risk of underdiagnosis of these types of strokes.
Symptoms and Syndromes of Posterior Circulation Strokes: What to Recognize in Patient Care
This webinar explores the history, presentation, and imaging of strokes caused by the occlusion of the Posterior Cerebral Artery and explains those caused by occluded vertebral and basilar arteries as well as identifying major complications with strokes associated with these vessels. This is the second webinar from the Posterior Circulation Stroke series.
Posterior Circulation Strokes: Acute Treatment, Secondary Prevention, and Recovery
Join us as Alexis Simpkins, MD, PhD, MSCR and Nancy Jackson, MSN, RN, SCRN, CNRN present this important clinical topic area which impacts almost a quarter of those having an ischemic stroke.
