Abstract

Stroke is a disease with which we are all too familiar; it is the leading cause of severe disability and the third most common cause of death in the developed world. Over the last few years there has been a tidal wave of literature on the subject. Not before time, the impact of stroke worldwide has been recognized and this, it is to be hoped, signals an end to the nihilism that used to be so common.
