Synopsis

Few medical conditions strike with the swiftness and severity of stroke. Within moments, a life once carefree and full of energy can be struck down to a shell of its former self. In the wake of stroke’s sudden onset, family and friends are often caught unprepared for the whirlwind of tests, assessments, and scans that force them to ‘press pause’ on their daily routines as they deal with this unforgiving condition.

The tumultuous days and weeks following stroke can provide little time for loved ones to navigate the wealth of information that can be found throughout books, blogs, websites, and even social media. Stroke: A Practical Guide For New Patients And Their Caregivers is written to aid in the knowledge search by summarizing information taken directly from published research articles – including over 300 citations – to help patients as well as their loved ones and caregivers better understand a variety of stroke-related topics including:

• brain anatomy and blood flow
• stroke types and associated pathology
• stroke risk factors
• stroke mimics
• diagnosis and initial management procedures
• stroke medical team members
• rehabilitation principles and techniques
• challenges faced by stroke care providers

The rapid changes brought about by stroke combined with its severity can be quite chaotic for all involved. Stroke: A Practical Guide is intended to help alleviate some of the initial concerns by providing quality information that can help empower patients and their care providers while also helping them to have productive conversations with their medical team.
