Features: According to the World Health Organization, 40 countries have cerebrovascular diseases as the top three causes of death among their populations, and China is one of them. In China and other Asian countries like Japan, the mortality rate from stroke is 4 to 5 times higher than that from coronary heart disease. Early detection and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases are key to reducing mortality and disability. Reasonable care and rehabilitation during the recovery period are equally important for promoting recovery and reducing disability. To meet the needs of a broad range of patients and the public for knowledge on the prevention, treatment, and management of cerebrovascular diseases, the authors have consulted a large number of medical literature and written this book. Focusing on the prevention, treatment, and management of cerebrovascular diseases, the book introduces relevant knowledge to a wide readership in terms of "what is recommended" and "what should be avoided," covering aspects such as seeking medical care, medication, psychological well-being, exercise, and diet. The content of this book is simple, easy to understand, and highly practical, making it an ideal guide for patients with cerebrovascular diseases and their families in daily health care.
