Davidson 29. Stroke Medicine

Stroke medicine is defined by time, territory, and consequence. This chapter explores cerebrovascular disease as both emergency and long-term condition, shaped by prevention as much as intervention.In this deep dive, we examine ischaemia, haemorrhage, reperfusion, and recovery. You’ll hear how rapid assessment alters outcome, why systems of care matter, and how rehabilitation begins at presentation.This chapter reframes stroke as a continuum — from vascular risk to acute care to adaptation and recovery.
