Produktbeschreibung

Stroke tells the story of one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Each year, around 15 million people suffer a stroke and about 6 million die as a result. The purpose of Aishwarya Aggarwal's book is to explain exactly what causes a stroke and to chart the major developments in the understanding of its pathology and the evolution of its treatment. Stroke: A Medical History takes the reader through the research of eminent scientists and doctors in the past and highlights how their work brought about changes in the understanding of strokes. The starting point of this journey is Hippocrates (c. 370 BCE), who first described the phenomenon, and the story culminates with current treatment modalities and other work being done in the field of stroke treatment.

In its scope, Stroke is for its subject a book akin to what The Emperor of All Maladies was for cancer.
