Summary

Advances in stroke prevention and improvement in the care and management of stroke patients can, in a large measure, be attributed to advances in knowledge about various medical conditions and their treatment. These stories of stroke could not be written without some attention to the medical risk factors and comorbidities prevalent in stroke patients. Many books would be needed to cover all the medical history. Some information is covered in Chapter 38 on epidemiology and stroke prevention. This chapter includes brief clips about the development of knowledge and ideas concerning major important medical conditions and their management.
