Stroke: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management, 8th Edition

• Covers all aspects of stroke, including pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors; medical therapy, including rehabilitation, recovery, and secondary prevention; interventional therapy; surgical therapy; and more
• Features a completely revised pathophysiology section with the latest understanding of underlying cellular and vascular biology and genetic aspects of cerebrovascular diseases
• Helps you recognize the clinical manifestations of stroke, use the latest laboratory and imaging studies to arrive at a diagnosis, and generate an effective medical and surgical treatment plan
• Contains expanded sections on Secondary Prevention and Rehabilitation and Recovery, and a new chapter on Artificial Intelligence
• Keeps you abreast of the overwhelming volume of new clinical trials and other clinical and translational research in all aspects of this dynamic field, providing clear summaries and practical evaluations of all relevant data
• Includes review and application of updated guidelines on stroke prevention and treatment
• Provides access to lecture slides covering basic science, case studies, and interventional treatment overviews
• Features a Key Points summary at the beginning of each chapter so you can quickly identify important information
• Offers full-color visual guidance with abundant imaging (MRI, CT, echocardiogram, Doppler waveforms), clinical photographs, pathology slides and stains, anatomical illustrations, diagrams, charts, and tables to enhance understanding and support accurate diagnoses
• Shares experience and knowledge from an expert editorial and author team, including four new editors who bring their personal expertise to key areas: Drs. Valeria A. Caso, Nicole R. Gonzales, Tatjana Rundek, and Sean I. Savitz
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
