About this title

Synopsis

Gifted by the library when they closed for good.

From the Back Cover

In the third edition of this successful book, the authors have again worked closely together as a team to produce a seamless and consistently styled account of the diagnosis and management of stroke. This essential text presents a unique approach to stroke, both from the uniformity and clarity of the style and the integrated clinical management that weaves together causation, presentation, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation.

The approach throughout the book is that clinical management should be based on evidence wherever possible. This book deliberately poses and answers many of the burning questions and controversies in stroke and achieves a rare combination of readability and broad coverage.

The third edition has been extensively revised and expanded to present an authoritative reference for all professionals involved in stroke care. New features to the third edition include:

• increased coverage of the statins due to clearer evidence of their effectiveness in preventing stroke
• important new evidence on the preventive effect of lowering blood pressure
• a completely revised section on imaging, to reflect the great advances in this area
• coverage of new advances in interventional radiology.
