内容简介：
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.
