Beginning with chapters that are worded as questions, this ebook guides the reader through a standard clinical workflow. It does so by examining the practical assessment and skills that are required at each stage of patient management. The first few chapters cover a variety of topics, including locating the vascular lesion, the role that imaging should play, identifying the involved arterial territory, and the application of these topics.

In the following chapters, we will investigate the factors that lead to a persistent or transient ischemic event, as well as an intracerebral hemorrhage and a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Additionally covered are unusual causes of ischemic stroke as well as transient ischemic attack (TIA). The e-book then presents a practical approach to the management of stroke and transient ischemic attack, provides ways for professionals to prevent first or recurrent stroke, offers specific treatments for acute ischemic stroke and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and more. In addition, the e-book includes other information.

The final chapters of the e-book cover topics such as rehabilitation following a stroke, how patients and caregivers can be supported in the long term and short term, preventing another stroke from occurring, and organizing stroke services.
