This book contain information, such as: especially among African Americans, but in anyone with blood pressure that is difficult to control, two simple blood tests (measuring renin and aldosterone) make all the difference to successful treatment; a Mediterranean diet will reduce stroke by nearly half in high-risk people. Dr. Spence provides a collection of gourmet ""anti-stroke"" recipes that he prepares for himself; vitamin treatment with folic acid, B6, and B12 may prevent stroke by lowering levels of a new risk factor called homocysteine; advanced imaging methods are improving management of arteries by providing feedback on the effectiveness of therapy; and, Transcranial Doppler embolus detection can identify, among patients with narrowing of the carotid arteries who do not yet have symptoms, the ones who are likely to benefit from surgery or stenting. This approach is the powerful medicine for stroke prevention that patients and their physicians need and will learn from this book.…
