Reviews

Review from the first edition: '… the authors reach their goal of guiding doctors through the vast amount of literature on stroke: the book is handy and very clearly written and will help general practitioners, residents and expert clinicians in their daily practice with stroke patients. We recommend the book to all doctors who are looking for a prompt access guide for diagnosis and treatment of stroke.' Antonio Carolei, European Neurology
