Description
This is the first book that focuses on genetics and stroke, an area of ever growing clinical and research importance. It integrates laboratory, applied and clinical research, with an emphasis on molecular genetic and genetic epidemiologic aspects of cerebrovascular disease.

Beginning with an overview of the key risk factors for stroke, most of the major stroke types and syndromes are detailed, as well as the key genetic advances for several stroke mechanisms and etiologies. The text also provides expert guidance for evaluating patients' genetic stroke profile. Extensive bibliographies for each chapter further guide the reader to topics of particular interest.

As the pioneering text on this topic, Genetics of Cerebrovascular Disease should be of considerable interest and value to both clinicians and researchers in this area.
