Handbook of Stroke

Based on extensive experience at the Mayo Clinic, this book provides a concise and easy-to-read guide for the evaluation and management of stroke. Filled with algorithms that put pertinent information at the reader's fingertips, the handbook is divided into two sections: Section One describes the patient work-up in detail and covers questions to ask and laboratory tests to order; Section Two examines differential diagnosis, logically explaining how to diagnose ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke.
