In the second edition of this highly successful book, authors have, once again, worked closely together to produce a seamless and consistently styled account of the diagnosis and management of stroke. The approach throughout the book is that clinical management should be based on evidence wherever possible. Presenting a unique approach to stroke, both from the uniformity and clarity of the style and the integrated clinical management which weaves together causation, presentation, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation, this book has been extensively revised and expanded to present an authoritative reference for all professionals involved in stroke care.
