On behalf of the Organizing Committee it is our pleasure to invite you to “6^thWorld Summit on Heart, Stroke and Neurological Disorders going to held on August 31- September 01, 2018 Boston, USA” under the theme “Exploring Insights in the prevention and treatment of Heart Failure, Brain Stroke and Neurological Disorders ”

Session On: Heart Failure and Brain Health

A chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen is termed as Heart Failure. The heart pumps 20% of blood to brain and brain receives oxygen through 20% blood. If heart failure happens, the blood supply or oxygen to the brain will be reduced and thereby memory loss happens. According to the new study, heart failure is directly associated with loss of grey matter in the brain which is associated with memory, reasoning and planning. It has been proven that many heart failure patients had bad long time or immediate memory. If any damages occur in heart or blood vessels, the blood supply to brain will be collapsed.

Session On: Heart Diseases and Cardiac Arrest

Heart disease is the major cause of deaths in USA. There are many types of heart diseases and most common heart disease is Coronary Heart Disease where coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked. Cardiac arrest refers to the disruption of heart function that is the malfunction of electrical system of the heart. Often, heart attack mistakenly refers to cardiac arrest, but heart attacks are caused by a blockage that stops the blood supply to the heart.

Session On: Pediatric and Geriatric Cardiology

The pediatric cardiology termed as the study that provides diagnosis and management of congenital and acquired heart disease in infants, children, and adolescents. Congenital heart defect is a condition present at birth that affects the way heart works. According to the survey, in the year 2010, 1 million children and 1.4 million adults have been diagnosed with heart disease in USA. Geriatric cardiology deals with the study of cardiovascular disorders in elderly people. The most common heart disease that is being a mortality in old people is Coronary heart disease (CHD). Vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease cause significant morbidity and mortality in aged people. In 2005, around 4 lakhs people died due to CHD in USA of which 85% were in the age group above 65 years.

Session On: Cardiovascular Research and Hypertension

Cardiovascular research extensively involves the research aspects in the field of cardiology, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, arrhythmia, heart attack, impairment of function of cardiac valves and congenital heart diseases. This conference will be platform for postgraduate students to conduct work in the fields of cardiology, angiology, hypertension and cardiac and vascular surgery. One of main causes of cardiac arrest is Hypertension. The excess strain or hypertension causes the narrowing of arteries that supply blood to heart and causes deposition of fat and cholesterol, thereby causing Heart attack or stroke. The common symptom of heart attack is chest pain.

Session On: Stroke, Epidemiology, Management and Prevention

Stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is either interrupted or reduced. When this happens, the brain does not get enough oxygen or nutrients, which causes brain cells to die. Some stroke risk factors can’t be controlled. These include gender, age and family history. However, many stroke risk factors are lifestyle related. Everyone can reduce their risk of having a stroke by making a few simple lifestyle changes. There are some races and ethnic origins that are more prone to stroke than others. This includes those of Asian, African or Caribbean origin. The goal for the acute management of patients with stroke is to stabilize the patient and to complete initial evaluation and assessment, including imaging and laboratory studies, within 60 minutes of patient arrival. Critical decisions focus on the need for intubation, blood pressure control, and determination of risk or benefit for thrombolytic intervention. Hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia need to be identified and treated early in the evaluation.

The best way to prevent a stroke is to address the underlying causes. This is best done by living healthfully, which means Eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, Exercise regularly, Avoiding alcohol or drink moderately.

Session On: Paediatric Stroke and Recovery

Stroke is the main cause of death in children in USA and the most paediatric stroke survivors will be suffering from neurological or cognitive impairments. Because of the plasticity of the brains of children, they recover faster than adults. A stroke survivor may be diagnosed with Epilepsy. Based on the cause of the stroke, the treatments will be decided by the physicians. Constraint therapy is an old therapy, but it is now extensively used in the paediatric stroke rehabilitation. If the stroke is caused by the blockage, then blood thinning medications will be given. If stroke happens due to Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), then an immediate blood transfusion will be performed. A physiotherapist can help with movement problems such as weakness or paralysis, spasticity (a stiffness that develops in the muscles after stroke) or muscle spasms. The therapist will assess and design a programme to improve muscle strength (which can reduce the risk of spasticity) and movement.

Session On: Stroke Nursing and Interventions

Nurses play a pivotal role in all phases of care of the stroke patient. Some of the nurse caring plans are Ineffective Cerebral Tissue Perfusion, Impaired Physical Mobility, Impaired Verbal Communication, Disturbed Sensory Perception, Ineffective Coping, Self-Care Deficit, Risk for Impaired Swallowing. Nurses may work as emergency medical technician (EMT) and paramedics, radio providers of online medical control to emergency medical services (EMS) personnel from base stations, and educators who teach EMS personnel about stroke and the care of stroke patients. Nurse Interventions are monitoring major signs in patients such as monitoring blood pressure, comparing BP reading in both arms, heart rate, rhythm and murmurs. There also monitor Respirations, noting patterns and rhythm, Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

Session On: Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Haemorrhage

The long-term goal of rehabilitation is to improve function so that the stroke survivor can become as independent as possible. This must be accomplished in a way that preserves dignity and motivates the survivor to relearn basic skills that the stroke may have impaired - skills like bathing, eating, dressing and walking. Rehabilitation starts in the hospital as soon as possible following a stroke. The rehab team includes Physiatrist, Neurologist, Rehabilitation Nurse, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist and Speech-Language Pathologists. Brain Haemorrhage is one of the types of Stroke. It is caused by internal bleeding of brain and eventually it kills the brain cells. Brain Haemorrhage is otherwise known as Cerebral haemorrhages, intracranial haemorrhages, or intracerebral haemorrhages. They occur for about 13% of strokes.

Session On: Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease aren’t the same. Dementia is an overall term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, performance of daily activities, and communication abilities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease gets worse with time and affects memory, language, and thought. Dementia is a syndrome, not a disease. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that doesn’t have a definitive diagnosis. Dementia is a group of symptoms that affects mental cognitive tasks such as memory and reasoning. Dementia is an umbrella term that Alzheimer’s disease can fall under. It can occur due to a variety of conditions, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.

Session On: Neurophysiology and Neurodegeneration

Neuroscience is a branch of study that deals with the anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology of neurons and neural circuits. The scope of neuroscience has broadened over time to include different approaches used to study the molecular, cellular, developmental, structural, functional, evolutionary, computational, psychosocial and medical aspects of the nervous system. The tools used for imaging Nerve are Positron Emission Tomography(PET), Diffusion Tensor imaging(DTI), Magnetic Resonance Neurography(MRN), Computerized Tomography(CT), Plain X Ray. MRN is the advanced technique used to image Peripheral Nerve for the diagnosis of any disorder in the Nerves and Neuromuscular diseases. It can image any Nerves in the body and are commonly used for the diagnosis of Nerve disorder in Brachial Plexus.

Session On: Neurological Disorders and Neuroplasticity

There are about 600 Neurological disorders and approximately 50 million Americans are being affected each year. The main risk factors for Neurological disorders are genetic manipulation, age, lifestyle and other environmental agents. Abnormalities in structural and biochemical functions causes various symptoms. Some of them are paralysis, seizures, confusion, muscle weakness and altered levels of consciousness.

The ability of the Brain to alter at any age is referred to as Neuroplasticity or Brain Plasticity. The recent neuroscience research proves that Neuroplasticity is the basis for brain training exercises which revolutionized the brain health and science research. There is a great reception for Brain plasticity-based therapies for many cognitive problems since it is a non- invasive treatment.

Theme:

Exploring Insights in the prevention and treatment of Heart Failure, Brain Stroke and Neurological Disorders

Importance and Scope:

Neurocardiology refers to the pathophysiological interactions between nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is an emerging field in medicine over the last decade. The constant communication between the heart and the brain have proved invaluable to interdisciplinary fields of neurological and cardiac diseases. The heart-brain’s neural circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain to learn, remember, make decisions and even feel and sense. Persons with Heart Failure have higher incidence of Ischemic Stroke, varying from 1.7% to 10.4% per year. The stroke rate increases with length of follow-up. Reduced ejection fraction, independent of severity, is associated with higher risk of stroke.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2008 were in men. 35.3% of deaths in American women over the age of 20, or more than 432,000, are caused by cardiovascular disease each year.

Why Boston?

Stroke Summit 2018 is going to be held at Boston, USA. Boston is the capital city and most populous municipality of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. It is also the seat of Suffolk County, although the county government was disbanded on July 1, 1999.

The city covers 48 square miles with an estimated population of 673,184 in 2016 making it the largest city in the New England region of the northeastern United States. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a metropolitan statistical area home to a census-estimated 4.8 million people in 2016 and ranking as the tenth-largest such area in the country.

As a combined statistical area, this wider commuting region is home to some 8.2 million people, making it the sixth-largest in the United States. Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon U.S. independence from Great Britain, it continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub as well as a center for education and culture. The city has expanded beyond the original peninsula through land reclamation and municipal annexation.Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school (Boston Latin School, 1635, first subway system and first public park.

The Boston area's many colleges and universities make it an international center of higher education, including law, medicine, engineering, and business and the city is a world leader in innovation and entrepreneurship, with nearly 2,000 start-ups.

Market Value for Cardiovascular Diseases Globally:

The cardiovascular disease market, which includes hypertension, dyslipidaemia and thrombotic events, is set to grow from $129.2 billion in 2015 to $146.4 billion by 2022, at a very modest compound annual growth rate of 1.8%.

Market Value for Cardiovascular Diseases in USA:

In 2010, coronary heart disease alone was projected to cost the United States $108.9 billion. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications, and lost productivity. Every year about 785,000 Americans have a first coronary attack. Another 470,000 who have already had one or more coronary attacks have another attack.

Market value of Stroke in UK

Stroke occurs approximately 152,000 times a year in the UK; that is stroke occurs every 3 minutes 27 seconds. First-time incidence of stroke occurs almost 17 million times a year worldwide. There are over 1.2 million stroke survivors in the UK. 3 in 10 stroke survivors will go on to have a recurrent stroke or TIA.1 in 8 strokes are fatal within the first 30 days.1 in 4 strokes are fatal within a year. Stroke is the fourth single largest cause of death in the UK and second in the world. By the age of 75, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 6 men will have a stroke.

Stroke kills twice as many women as breast cancer and more men than prostate and testicular cancer combined a year. Black people are twice as likely to have a stroke compared to white people. Black and South Asian people have strokes at a younger age compared to white people. Stroke is one of the largest causes of disability – half of all stroke survivors have a disability. Over a third of stroke survivors in the UK are dependent on others, of those 1 in 5 are cared for by family and/or friends. For every cancer patient living in the UK, £241 is spent each year on medical research, compared with just £48 a year for every stroke patient.

46,000 people in the UK have a first incidence of TIA every year. Approximately 15% of ischemic strokes are preceded by a TIA. The greatest risk of stroke is within the days immediately after a TIA.

USA Statistics of Stroke:

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. More than 140,000 people die each year from stroke in the United States. Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. Each year, approximately 795,000 people suffer a stroke. About 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks.

Nearly three-quarters of all strokes occur in people over the age of 65. The risk of having a stroke more than doubles each decade after the age of 55. Strokes can and do occur at ANY age. Nearly one fourth of strokes occur in people under the age of 65. Stroke death rates are higher for African-Americans than for whites, even at younger ages.

On average, someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. Stroke accounted for about one of every 17 deaths in the United States in 2006. Stroke mortality for 2005 was 137,000. From 1995–2005, the stroke death rate fell ~30 percent and the actual number of stroke deaths declined ~14 percent.

Canadian Statistics of Stroke:

In 2000, stroke accounted for 7% of all deaths – 15,409 Canadians. Every seven minutes, a Canadian die of heart disease or stroke. Stroke was the second largest contributor to hospital care costs among cardiovascular diseases (2000-2001).

Eighty percent of Canadians have at least one of the risk factors for heart and/or cerebrovascular disease: daily smoking, physical inactivity, being overweight, self-reported high blood pressure, or diabetes. Between 1969 and 1999, death rates for cerebrovascular disease decreased by 62%.

Worldwide Statistics of Stroke:

According to the World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, 5 million dies and another 5 million are permanently disabled. High blood pressure contributes to more than 12.7 million strokes worldwide. Europe averages approximately 650,000 stroke deaths each year.

In developed countries, the incidence of stroke is declining, largely due to efforts to lower blood pressure and reduce smoking. However, the overall rate of stroke remains high due to the aging of the population.
