Harold Adams, Professor, Dept. of Neurology, will discuss stroke. Stroke is a life-changing disease for anyone but when it strikes a political leader, the effects are even more profound. During the 20th century, stroke affected important world leaders that either caused their premature death or gave them major impairments in cognition that changed the course of history. The impact of stroke on Lenin, Wilson, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin continues to be felt today.
