Acute Ischemic Stroke [Hardcover]

A stroke can be ischemic or hemorrhagic. This book provides advanced information regarding acute ischemic stroke. Despite important technological developments in past few years, their influence on our overall health and social well-being is not always clearly visible. Evidently, one of the best instances of this is reflected by the fact that mortality rates as a consequence of cerebrovascular diseases have only slightly altered in the right direction, if they have changed at all. This makes cerebrovascular diseases one of the most widespread reasons for both disability and death. In such a case, to have a book that contains in a profound and summarized manner, a group of topics directly connected to the preclinical investigative developments and the therapeutic procedures for the cerebrovascular disease in its acute phase; makes for a helpful tool for the broad range of contributors of solution to the problems associated with this condition. These include students, professors, researchers, practitioners and a health policy maker whose work demonstrates one of the significant social and human impact challenges of the twenty-first century basic and clinical neurosciences.
