This book, which is written by leading world authorities in stroke medicine, provides valuable up-to-date information on key areas of interest and debate in clinical practice. While still claiming the lives of many people in the Western world, stroke is no longer a uniformly fateful disorder. Powerful therapies are available both for treatment of acute stroke and for primary and secondary prevention. Because of the need for rapid treatment of acute stroke and the multimodal approach to stroke prevention, interdisciplinary cooperation among several healthcare professionals (general practitioners, emergency medical services, internists, radiologists and neurologists) is beneficial. The authors have attempted to communicate a multidisciplinary, practical, effective approach to treating stroke, with algorithms based on scientific data and clinical experience. Clinical cases illustrate pertinent cases studies while the book is published in full colour throughout, making best use of the novel 3-D effect artwork programme. The book also contains a list of relevant drugs, with information on doses, efficacy and side effects. Multi-disciplinary approach makes the book suitable for general practitioners, emergency medical services, internists, radiologists and neurologists Include management algorithms to provide quick reference treatment pathways Credible evidence-based sources - when possible, evidence base for best practice by reference to primary research or international guidelines Bullet lists and short tables for clear presentation of key information
