✦ Synopsis

Patients suffering from cerebrovascular disease pose many clinical challenges and even experienced clinicians can arrive at the point where diagnostic, work-up, treatment, or prognostic thinking falters.

Authored by a vascular neurologist whose work spans the entire spectrum of this group of brain dysfunctions, Cerebrovascular Disease helps clinicians evaluate and manage patients suffering from stroke, embolism, thrombosis, hemorrhage, and other critical presentations. In a medical field where it's often difficult to distill the vast array of research and apply it in any meaningful clinical way, this next volume in the "What Do I Do Now?" series focuses on walking the clinician through evidence-based decision-making. Each clinical scenario featured in Cerebrovascular Disease describes in careful detail the presentation, diagnostic studies, treatment options, and rationale for handling these tricky cases.
