Stroke: A Case-Based Approach

Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, resulting in damage to brain cells. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential to minimize brain damage and improve outcomes. Strokes are broadly divided into ischemic strokes and hemorrhagic strokes. The strokes which are caused due to the blockage of an artery are known as ischemic strokes. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by the rupturing and bleeding of a blood vessel which supplies blood to the brain. The diagnosis of a stroke can be done by studying the medical history and conducting a physical examination. It can also be done through imaging tests such as CT scan, MRI scan and angiography. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to strokes have been included in this book. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students
