Individual skill
stroke
Use when targeting Stroke or deciding whether a cerebrovascular-disease study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the clinical/translational/basic cerebrovascular evidence bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, AHA/ASA house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# Stroke (stroke)
## Journal positioning
Stroke is the flagship cerebrovascular journal of the American Heart Association / American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), publishing clinical, translational, and basic research focused specifically on cerebrovascular disease — ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral small-vessel disease, prevention, acute treatment (thrombolysis, thrombectomy), recovery and rehabilitation, and the vascular biology and neurovascular mechanisms behind them. It serves vascular neurologists, neurointerventionalists, neurosurgeons, and cerebrovascular scientists, and expects cerebrovascular-specific work that advances prevention, acute care, recovery, or mechanism; general neurology without a clear cerebrovascular focus, and underpowered single-center series with no practice or mechanistic advance, are a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live Stroke author instructions.
## When to trigger
- The author names Stroke for a cerebrovascular clinical, translational, or basic study and wants a fit/framing check.
- A study must be re-framed around a cerebrovascular-specific question (prevention, acute treatment, recovery, mechanism) for an AHA/ASA readership.
- The author is choosing between Stroke, a broad mechanistic neurology journal, and a clinical-trials neurology journal.
- The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject expectations for cerebrovascular research.
