This is a straightforward guide to stroke prevention for those who
have had a stroke or stroke-like symptom. The first chapter
reviews, in plain language, the different stroke types and how they
cause stroke symptoms. The reader can then turn to the chapter that
deals with his or her stroke type. In each section, discussion of
the causes of stroke is integrated with stroke prevention
recommendations, backed up by scientific citations where
appropriate. Prevention recommendations are made in the form of
goals which are marked off on an easy to use Goal Chart, included
in the book.
