Beginning with a general overview on how to prepare for the exam, this practical guide emphasizes clinically relevant scientific principles that must be mastered by the stroke clinician. Subsequent chapters review acute management of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, specific epidemiological risk factors, stroke pathophysiology, stroke classification, and vascular neuroanatomy.
