Warlow's Stroke: Practical Management, 4th Edition, provides an evidence-based textbook structured around a problem-oriented clinical workflow. The work frames stroke evaluation around the progressive questions clinicians face in practice, addressing a condition recognized globally as a primary cause of adult disability and death.
The volume covers vascular lesion localization, involved arterial territory recognition, and the role of acute neuroimaging. It examines common and unusual etiologies of transient ischemic attacks, persistent ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, alongside specific therapeutic and preventive interventions.
Designed for clinicians handling cerebrovascular disease, this textbook serves neurologists, stroke physicians, geriatricians, radiologists, residents, and primary care physicians.
