This book, by leading stroke researchers from Europe and North America, describes environmental and genetic risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. The section on genetics is exceptionally detailed and contemporaneous. Risk Factors for Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke will be especially useful to clinicians at all levels, researchers, and public health professionals interested in primary prevention of stroke.
