| Synopsis: |
Authored by leading experts, the comprehensive reviews featured in this publication deal with the primary and secondary prevention of stroke as well as other issues in stroke epidemiology, pathology and treatment. The latest trends shown in epidemiological studies which establish the key risk factors for stroke are discussed. This is followed by a review of antihypertensive agents in which the efficacy of diuretic- and beta-blocker-based treatments is compared. An additional review out-lines recent evidence which shows that further prevention is possible through anti-thrombotic treatment and, in a selected population, by carotid endarterectomy. Additionally, an extensive overview of various antiplatelet agents and regimens confirms that these agents effectively prevent atherothrombotic events in patients with a range of clinical disorders who are at risk of vascular events. Finally both silent brain infarcts and transient ischemic attacks are reviewed and discussed in terms of diagnostic and prognostic factors. |
