Strokes afflict thousands of people every year. Yet, for every
fatal case, many more victims survive, often going on to live long,
productive lives. Of course, none of it is simple-not preventing a
"brain attack," nor survival, rehabilitation, or living with
cerebrovascular disease. The key is education, for both the moment
of crisis and the long term. Navigating the Complexities of Stroke
provides a practical guide for the lay public and medical
professionals. Dr. Louis R. Caplan, one of the world's leading
experts, guides readers through the subject in a straightforward
and accessible manner. He examines the anatomy of the brain,
explaining the specialized functions of different regions, and
describes the flow of blood from the heart. He turns to the
mechanics of the stroke itself, clearly discussing the complexities
of the two major kinds-the ischemic and hemorrhagic-and the
resulting damage. Most helpfully, Caplan offers information and
advice that readers will find immediately useful: the medical
conditions and other factors that create risk, stroke symptoms,
abnormalities that doctors look for, tests available to evaluate
strokes, complications and disabilities that can result, and the
paths of treatment and rehabilitation. He offers real-life cases of
victims and their families that demonstrate successful recovery,
but also reveal the sometimes troubling impact of strokes on
survivors and their families, who can suffer frustration and
demoralization that the medical profession often overlooks in its
biological focus. Caplan also examines strokes in children and
young adults, who are often neglected in literature that is largely
aimed at seniors. Navigating the Complexities of Stroke empowers
victims, families, and general medical providers. It puts in
readers' hands the knowledge necessary to avoid strokes, address
them quickly, and effectively recover, so they won't lose heart
when it is needed most.
