Ischemic stroke is now the third most common cause of death in the Western world [1] (Fig. 18.1). In addition, the morbidity related to cerebrovascular disease is particularly disabling, because it causes neurological deficits leading to a loss of autonomy and disability in performing normal daily activities, due to enormous costs for the national health system and society [2]. The incidence of stroke was 0.2 % per year in the general population but rises significantly in the presence of multiple risk factors [3].

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is now the third most common cause of death in the Western world [1] (Fig. 18.1). In addition, the morbidity related to cerebrovascular disease is particularly disabling, because it causes neurological deficits leading to a loss of autonomy and disability in performing normal daily activities, due to enormous costs for the national health system and society [2]. The incidence of stroke was 0.2 % per year in the general population but rises significantly in the presence of multiple risk factors [3].File in questo prodotto:
