The only comprehensive text on the management of acute ischemic stroke
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS)-the most rapidly growing area of stroke management-has become a major public health issue, as physicians have been plagued by a scarcity of effective treatments. However, with advances in the understanding of stroke mechanisms, timing of therapy, and modern medicines and techniques, the medical community has seen a major increase in the ability to successfully treat AIS in a manner that has proven beneficial over a broad category of patients.
Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Evidence-based Approach provides readers with an overview of the clinical and biological evidence to support the current treatment of AIS and paves a road for discovery by highlighting the future directions of research. Laying out treatment plans and protocols in a handbook fashion designed for ease-of-use-even in emergency situations-the book thoughtfully and comprehensively covers:
*
Stroke neuroimaging
*
Intravenous thrombolysis
*
Endovascular approaches
*
Surgical management
*
Non-thrombolytic stroke treatments
*
Anti-thrombolytic therapies
*
Stroke etiologies
*
Intensive care management of stroke
*
Telestroke
Illustrated throughout with numerous tables and figures, Acute Ischemic Stroke is an essential reference for the treatment of AIS for a wide range of healthcare professionals, including stroke neurologists, emergency room physicians, neurology residents and fellows, medical students, and nurse practitioners.
