Target: Stroke One minute of brain ischemia can kill 2 million nerve cells and 14 billion synapses. That means the more time that elapses before intravenous thrombolysis, the slimmer the odds of a good outcome.

Target: Stroke was created to help you seize that opportunity by achieving door-to-needle (DTN) times of 60 minutes or less.
