[Stroke from the Perspective of Neurologists (Part 1): Update in the Acute Diagnosis].
Stroke care is rapidly changing. The next three «Praxis» editions will give you an update and the neurological perspective of stroke including acute diagnosis, acute therapy and secondary prevention. The first article focuses on diagnostic procedures in the acute stage. In spite of the tremendous progress stroke remains frequent and the major cause of adult-onset disability. The pathophysiological correlate is the cerebral ischemia or the cerebral bleeding, which are in most reason responsible for persistent disability and high health care and social costs. The shortest work-up to the right diagnoses and the favored therapies can save life and improve quality of daily living. The rapid clinical and radiological identification of the target groups which benefit is essential. In the last years several randomized controlled studies show new medical evidence.
