Summary:

Stroke is among the most prevalent neurologic diseases and in the last decade, there has been an explosion of new, clinically-relevant information about stroke and its prevention. This informative volume in the successful Advances in Neurology Series provides a succinct overview of a half-century of advances in the diagnosis and management of ischemic stroke. Drawing upon the collaboration of international experts, the text updates our current knowledge in the field, including detailed coverage of basic and clinical science, risk factors, prevention, neurologic consequences, and rehabilitation. Timely material highlights the latest advances in neuroprotective agents and their role in protecting the brain during an attack, helping to guide clinical decision making and improve patient outcomes.
