title: The changing face of stroke. Medical management revolution.
abstract: Stroke, the leading cause of adult disability in our society and third most common cause of death, costs our community around $1.2 billion per year. As a medical condition, stroke conjures negative images in the minds of health care providers and the general public as a condition for which little or nothing can be done.
