Patient population and healthcare delivery system in Japan is very different from the United States, thus I don’t know if results of this study would be applicable here. What I found interesting was that a history of TIA and hypertension were independently associated with a longer onset to door time. I would have never assumed that, and this is worrisome for me. Do we really provide such poor education to our at risk population?
