Summary:

This resource for non-specialists provides an overview of stroke as a disease entity and a concise but analytical account of assessment and management strategies. Contributors are clinicians with experience in stroke management in practical settings, working with facilities available in typical general hospitals. The book begins by reviewing essential neuroanatomy, pathophysiology, etiology, and genetics, then considers stroke classification systems and describes stroke syndromes. Other subjects covered include assessment and management of the stroke patient, stroke mimics, stroke in young people, and imaging. The art program features color and b&w anatomical diagrams. Tziotzios is a core medical trainee at Cambridge University Hospitals. The book is distributed in the US by BookMasters. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
