The incidence of stroke in younger adults is rising, with
approximately 5% of all ischaemic strokes occurring in individuals
younger than 45 years and 10% occurring in those under 50. Causes
and risk factor profiles among young ischaemic stroke patients
differ significantly from those in elderly patients, and young
patients frequently have genetic or other rare causes which require
different diagnostic work-up and treatment strategies from older
stroke patients. While the aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment of
stroke are commonly covered elsewhere, there is little literature
referring specifically to the treatment needs for younger stroke
patients. Ischaemic Stroke in the Young brings together the latest
research from leading stroke teams, and takes a detailed diagnostic
approach to explore the issues particular to younger stroke
victims. This problem-based approach complements existing stroke
volumes, providing physicians and stroke service staff with the
specific diagnostic and treatment information they need when
dealing with younger stroke patients.
