Synopsis: This book covers the epidemiology, diagnosis, acute treatment, and rehabilitation of stroke, the most common cause of death and disability in Vietnam. Stroke survivors are frequently left severely affected, including symptoms such as paralysis, difficulty swallowing/talking, balance problems, dizziness, and memory loss. The book contains chapters on prevention and treatment, current research, health economics, traditional medicine, optimal organization of care, pharmacology, and much more. Because stroke survivors have long-term disabilities, understanding the training requirements for stroke staff is critical. ‘Stroke in Vietnam’ is written by leading stroke professionals from Vietnam and internationally, and it will be helpful to all health professionals, including nurses, therapists, doctors, and medical students in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and worldwide.
