Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death
Early and rapid diagnosis of stroke is essential for identifying
the optimum treatment strategy. Recurrence can be prevented if the
underlying mechanism is understood. The earlier appropriate
rehabilitation programmes can be started, the better the chance of
a strong recovery.
Stroke provides the foundations for practice that will
enhance your patient’s chances of recovery. The expert
authors provide the evidence-based roadmap you need to provide the
best bedside care including:
Bedside evaluation of the stroke patient
* Neurovascular imaging
* Treatment of acute ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic
stroke
* Diagnosis of stroke mechanism and secondary prevention
* Post stroke recovery
* Telemedicine for the acute stroke patient
Clinical in approach, practical in execution,
Stroke will help you diagnose and manage your patients more
effectively.
