"Stroke Revisited: Hemorrhagic Stroke provides a foundational understanding of the  pathophysiology, care, and management of hemorrhagic stroke. It is thus best suited to the neurologist or neurosurgeon in training, as well as emergency and rehabilitation physicians, nursing staff, and ICU support personnel involved in the care of these patients. It will prove to be a welcome resource in those seeking basic understanding of the care and management of patient's suffering from hemorrhagic stroke, from initial presentation to long-term rehabilitation."
