ABC of Stroke

“This book provides an accurate, concise, up-to-date understanding of stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA), emphasising risk factors and presenting current best evidence based treatments regarding lifestyle modification and drug therapy in the primary and secondary prevention setting.”  (Australian Family Physician, 4 April 2012)

“This is a great addition to the stroke literature. What sets it apart is the concise manner in which each chapter is written to assist the multidisciplinary team member, the caregiver, or survivor.” (Doody’s, 18 November 2011)

“In 12 concise chapters, a group of UK stroke, rehabilitation, and psychology specialists summarize aspects of prevention, transient ischemic attack, acute stroke, medical complications, rehabilitation, stroke in younger people, mobility, communication and swallowing, psychological problems, and long-term support for survivors and carers.” (Booknews, 1 June 2011)

“In spite of the limiations of this book, it would be a useful addition to any ward, team or department library as an introductory text.” (Nursing Older People, 1 June 2011)
