North Carolina is situated in the "stroke belt" region of the United States, an area of the country with a particularly high incidence of cerebrovascular disease. The North Carolina Stroke Prevention and Treatment Facilities Survey was carried out to determine the availabilities of a variety of stroke prevention and treatment services throughout the state. The purpose of the present study was to determine how widely recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) has been adopted for the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke and to determine the characteristics of the medical facilities in the state offering this therapy.
