Oxford Textbook of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease (Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology) 1st Edition (2014) (PDF) by Bo Norrving

Description

Stroke is a major health concern worldwide, and the epidemiological data is staggering. One in six people will have a stroke during the course of their life; it is the second most common cause of death; and stroke also ranks second among causes contributing to the global burden of disability. However, the burden of stroke can be alleviated: it is potentially preventable, treatable, and possible to manage long term. Despite continuing advances in our knowledge about this disease, there is currently still a large evidence-to-clinical practice gap in all regions.

The Oxford Textbook of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease is a comprehensive textbook on clinical stroke, covering all major aspects of cerebrovascular disease including epidemiology, risk factors, primary prevention, pathophysiology, diagnostics, clinical features, acute therapies, secondary prevention, prognosis, and rehabilitation. It makes use of current pedagogic principles, and includes not only aspects on management in the acute hospital phase of stroke, but also public health issues, prevention, long-term management, and silent vascular disease (which is becoming increasingly epidemic in the general population). Topical aspects also include advice to improve clinical skills in examination, diagnosing, and treating stroke. The text also covers the fields of silent cerebrovascular disease (silent brain infarcts, microbleeds, white matter ischemic abnormalities) that more recently have been recognized to be highly prevalent in the general population, and that carry important risks on vascular events and cognitive decline/dementia.

User’s Reviews

This “Oxford Textbook” is one of a series of review books on medical topics starting with this phrase. It covers the topic well. It is written at a level appropriate for medical professionals. There are 24 chapters with various chapter authors, and because of this there is moderate redundancy in the material covered. References are abundant. My background is that of a retired pathologist without expertise in this topic, and I have read about 2/3 of the book.
