Welcome to Spot the Bleed, an American Heart Association (AHA) series dedicated to hemorrhagic stroke (ICH) guidelines. In this episode, we focus on post-hemorrhagic stroke rehabilitation and recovery. Our aim is to provide you with key ICH guideline updates and clinical insights to address stroke management challenges both before and after hospital admission.

Joining us today are two leading neurology specialists—Dr. Simona Nedelcu, MD, PhD, and Dr. Minsun Kim, DO—from the Department of Neurology at Mass General Brigham in Boston, Massachusetts. They will walk us through the latest AHA guidelines for post-stroke rehabilitation, highlighting that the most effective recovery approach is personalized, initiated within 24–48 hours of onset, and supported by coordinated multidisciplinary care with early discharge planning. You’ll also hear the latest research on how recovery draws on both brain reorganization and adaptive strategies—critical knowledge for improving patient outcomes.
