Publisher's Synopsis
Microcirculatory stasis is one of the most unclarified fields. This book aims to define this subject, giving a better understanding of ischemic tissue damage. It includes contributions from distinguished experts in the field of brain research as well as the basic sciences covering nonbrain fields, and consists of four major themes: blood events., vessel changes, feedback from ischemically damaged tissue, and clinical relevance. It will be of great value to all those involved in brain research, and will help to establish improved means of treating stroke patients.
