Abstract:
Data from recent clinical studies have replaced the empiricism that once pervaded the medical literature regarding stroke. This has created exciting opportunities for optimal management as well as challenges related to the importance of early recognition and intervention. Dr Kelley reviews recent advances in prevention and treatment of stroke and describes a systematic approach that directly affects choice of diagnostic tests and therapeutic options.
