EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
This volume covers the most important aspects of cerebral blood flow (CBF) from basic issues to clinical practice, first defining the basic physiology of CBF, those qualities that make it unique or are shared with other organs and their clinical implications. The next section, on CBF pathophysiology, explores many of the known and proposed mechanisms of cerebral ischemia in stroke and trauma states. The third section describes the numerous and powerful means available to measure blood flow, tissue function and overall perfusion. These measures are essential if one is to assess the effectiveness of therapies aimed at preventing or reversing cerebral ischemia. The final section describes the interesting and often successful recent clinical trials aimed at preventing or reversing cerebral ischemia. This collection of multicenter trial data and their implications in one volume is unique in this field.
