National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC) Stroke Registry

November 7, 2023 updated by: Kazunori Toyoda, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Japan
A single-center registry of patients with acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and transient ischemic attack (TIA) who are emergently managed in the stroke care unit in the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC) to determine change in underlying characteristics, stroke features and severity, process for diagnosis and acute treatment, and long-term outcomes of stroke/TIA patients over the years.

Detailed Description

This is a single-center registry of consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and transient ischemic attack (TIA) who are emergently managed in the stroke care unit in the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, a flagship stroke center in Japan.

Neurological emergencies other than stroke/TIA and subclinical cerebrobvascular inpatients are also enrolled.

Data are collected and analyzed to determine change in underlying characteristics, stroke features and severity, process for diagnosis and acute treatment, and long-term outcomes of stroke/TIA patients over the years.

The National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center was founded in 1977 in Suita, Osaka, in order to provide the public with the most advanced treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and to conduct the highest level of basic as well as applied research on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
