Langtext
The only comprehensive text on the management of acute ischemic stroke

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS)-the most rapidly growing area of stroke management-has become a major public health issue, as physicians have been plagued by a scarcity of effective treatments. However, with advances in the understanding of stroke mechanisms, timing of therapy, and modern medicines and techniques, the medical community has seen a major increase in the ability to successfully treat AIS in a manner that has proven beneficial over a broad category of patients.

Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Evidence-based Approach provides readers with an overview of the clinical and biological evidence to support the current treatment of AIS and paves a road for discovery by highlighting the future directions of research. Laying out treatment plans and protocols in a handbook fashion designed for ease-of-use-even in emergency situations-the book thoughtfully and comprehensively covers:
*

Stroke neuroimaging
*

Intravenous thrombolysis
*

Endovascular approaches
*

Surgical management
*

Non-thrombolytic stroke treatments
*

Anti-thrombolytic therapies
*

Stroke etiologies
*

Intensive care management of stroke
*

Telestroke

Illustrated throughout with numerous tables and figures, Acute Ischemic Stroke is an essential reference for the treatment of AIS for a wide range of healthcare professionals, including stroke neurologists, emergency room physicians, neurology residents and fellows, medical students, and nurse practitioners.
