Abstract "Since its publication in 1997, the Primer on Cerebrovascular Diseases has been an authoritative reference source for students, scientists, and clinicians needing rigorous summaries of molecular mechanisms, physiology, pathophysiology, and medical issues related to brain vasculature. In the Second Edition, Dr. Louis Caplan leads a new team of editors to completely revise and update this classic text. The new edition reflects wide-ranging advances made over the last two decades, and provides the mechanistic underpinnings for molecular understanding as well as clinical diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular disease. Key features: concise chapters written in an accessible format, authored by international authorities on cerebrovascular physiology and pathophysiology, new and expanded topics including cell signaling in the neurovascular unit, angiogenesis and stroke recovery, proteomics, molecular imaging, carotid stenting, effects of risk factors, and iatrogenic causes of stroke" -- Back cover.
