Book description
With the aging population ever growing, healthcare for persons
suffering from stroke and related illnesses is increasingly important.
Evidence-Based Nursing Care in Stroke and Neurovascular
Conditions provides a comprehensive and practical guide for
novice, experienced and advanced practice nurses working with patients
suffering from stroke and other neurovascular conditions.
With a focus specifically on neurovascular disorders, this highly

guidelines. The book begins with a thorough introduction to normal
cerebrovascular anatomy and physiology and common pathologic
mechanisms describing the unique challenges in working with this
patient group. Later chapters provide the pathophysiology, diagnostic
and current nursing interventions for the care of patients with
neurovascular disorders including transient ischemic attacks, ischemic
stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, Moyamoya, Migraines and more.
Evidence-Based Nursing Care in Stroke and Neurovascular Conditions
