DESCRIZIONE

Worldwide, a stroke occurs every second out of two, with an incidence of about 260 per 100,000 persons per year.
Annually, there are about 6 million stroke-related deaths and about 100 million patients who remain disabled. At present, it is necessary to consider that, even though the overall number of strokes is increasing, due to the global population growth, increasing life expectancy and ageing populations, stroke incidence and disability are in decline, reflecting the improvement of prevention and treatment strategies.
The aim of this book is to update stroke clinicians, emergency clinicians and practitioners, relying upon current optimal strategies of intervention to treat stroke patients, from diagnosis up until available acute therapies.
This will be done using practical and easy to read flow-charts, mirroring the most common clinical settings. Also, a focus will be placed upon the early phase of stroke when intervention is recommended, in order to obtain an optimal response to therapy.
In fact, since stroke is a time-dependent disease, the sooner we intervene, the better the prognosis. If we consider that -on average - 1.9 million neurons die, 14 billion of synapses melt and 12 km of neural fibers are lost every minute from stroke onset, it can definitely be said that time is brain!
