About this title

Review

"provides a very good review of stroke and an even better pictorial illustration of different types of stroke. The author has done an excellent job of summarizing data about the major advances in the diagnosis and primary prevention of stroke. It definitely is a useful aid for clinicians involved in the management of patients with vascular disorders who need to understand stroke." - Vijaya K.
