This is the first book that focuses on genetics and stroke, an area
of ever growing clinical and research importance. It integrates
laboratory, applied and clinical research, with an emphasis on
molecular genetic and genetic epidemiologic aspects of
cerebrovascular disease.
Beginning with an overview of the key risk factors for stroke,
most of the major stroke types and syndromes are detailed, as well
as the key genetic advances for several stroke mechanisms and
etiologies. The text also provides expert guidance for evaluating
patients' genetic stroke profile. Extensive bibliographies for each
chapter further guide the reader to topics of particular
interest.
As the pioneering text on this topic, Genetics of Cerebrovascular Disease should be of considerable interest and value to both clinicians and researchers in this area.
