An automated decision tree for evaluating risk of posterior circulation stroke.
For clinical educational purposes only. An automated decision tree for evaluating risk of posterior circulation stroke in patients with vertebrobasilar disease. A physician will use the app as a reference, to evaluate an individual patient's blood flow in the basilar and posterior cerebral arteries according to a published algorithm. The algorithm is used to determine a patient's flow status based on the amount of blood flow distal to a stenosis or occlusion within the vertebrobasilar circulation. Flow status is associated with a patient's future risk of stroke.
