This book reviews recent developments in each of these areas. To reflect the fact that TIAs and minor strokes are simply one end of the clinical spectrum of cerebrovascular disease, the book also covers the management of major stroke, and long-term outcomes - such as cognitive impairment - which can complicate all types of cerebrovascular events. The book is therefore a comprehensive primer in stroke medicine. Written by a leading team of researchers in the field, this book will be of interest to neurologists, stroke physicians, and all others with an interest in stroke.Transient Ischemic Attack & StrokeTransient ischemic attackCerebrovascular diseaseTransient ischemic attack.Cerebrovascular disease.616.8/1Pendlebury Sarah T.1040775Giles Matthew F.1970-Rothwell Peter M.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910454031803321Transient ischemic attack and stroke2463916UNINA
