Summary: "In this second edition of Stroke Treatment and Prevention we aim to update stroke clinicians and practitioners with the optimal evidence for strategies and interventions to treat stroke and prevent first and recurrent stroke. Where available, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews of RCTs of the interventions are described, and sourced predominantly from the Cochrane Library"-- Provided by publisher.
