Xth International Symposium on Thrombolysis and Acute Stroke Therapy, Budapest, Hungary, September 20-23, 2008

Welcome letter

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Xth International Symposium on Thrombolysis and Acute Stroke Therapy - TAST is scheduled to take place in Budapest, Hungary from September 21-23, 2008.

We all know that stroke causes a huge loss of high quality of life and is an enormous economic burden to all nations. However, there is scientifi c evidence that with appropriate care it is possible to recover from stroke. This symposium will highlight the recent progress in acute care of stroke. We hope that TAST 2008 will provide an excellent opportunity for many European, American, Australian, African and Far East neurologists and stroke physicians to share their experiences with friends and colleagues in a very attractive venue.

The Symposium will have plenary sessions and free communications in the afternoon but there will be no parallel sessions so that participants can enjoy all presentations.

We invite you to share the state of the art in acute care and prevention of stroke in the beautiful city of Budapest. We look forward to meeting you at TAST 2008 in Hungary.

Yours sincerely,

Markku Kaste, MD	László Csiba, MD
