Imagine getting a life-saving stroke drug up to 24 hours after symptoms start—no more racing the clock! Cincinnati researchers found alteplase, a common clot-buster, still works way past the old time limit. In their study, 40% of patients treated with it regained independence, compared to just 26% with standard care. There’s a bit more risk of bleeding, but no higher death rate. This could be huge for rural and under-resourced hospitals where other treatments aren’t available. Medical game-changer alert! #Health #BodyHealth #StrokeAwareness
