DESCRIPTION:
"Best stroke information" according to Smithbc1. When Mom had her stroke, the hospital staff was short on help, therefore, we as a family stood in total ignorance. We did not know what to expect medically or what had happen. The staff did not have the time to explain anything to the family. I went online and downloaded this book. I am so glad I did. The book is a easy read and gave great information. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in danger of a stroke, or to family members that have a love one that has suffered a stroke.. Must Read For Anyone Dealing With Stroke Elizabeth Apple For anyone dealling with the consequences of stroke: stroke survivors, family members and friends of stroke survivors, medical professionals treating patients affected by stroke, this is a must read book. Dr. Caplan creates a good clinical explanation of what happens, and why, during the cerebral vascular accidents referred to as Stroke. Reading this book will definitely increase your knowledge and medical vocabulary, as it relates to the condition of Stroke. It's not a light read, but a must read.. Lewis said Excellent for information not available elsewhere. Keep for reference.. The supplier of the book is excellent. Best supplier in my experience. Deserves five stars.The text is excellent; several very complex sections; not for the "easy reader." Best stroke information around. Readers need to be interested in or to have experienced stroke. Therefore "attender" would benefit from the read.

Of course, none of it is simple-not preventing a "brain attack," nor survival, rehabilitation, or living with cerebrovascular disease. He examines the anatomy of the brain, explaining the specialized functions of different regions, and describes the flow of blood from the heart. The key is education, for both the moment of crisis and the long term.Navigating the Complexities of Stroke provides a practical guide for the lay public and medical professionals. Yet, for every fatal case, many more victims survive, often going on to live long, productive lives. Caplan also examines strokes in children and young adults, who are often neglected in literature that is largely aimed at seniors. Louis R. Caplan, one of the world's leading experts, guides readers through the subject in a straightforward and accessible manner. He turns to the mechanics of the stroke itself, clearly discussing the complexities of the two major kinds-the ischemic and hemorrhagic-and the resulting damage.
