  • years of age or older.
  • Clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke defined as acute neurological deficit occurring in one or more major vessels.
  • Must arrive at hospital and be able to begin treatment within 2 hours of established eligibility and this must be within 24 hours of symptom onset. - - Patients unable to report symptom onset time or those awakening with symptoms must use the time last known to be well as the onset time.
