Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with significant implications for India. The book "Advancing Stroke Care in India: Principles and Practices”, compiled by the Indian Stroke Association and the Association of Physicians of India, serves as a vital guide to improving stroke care in India. It covers acute stroke management, including intravenous thrombolysis and strategies for resource-limited settings, and provides practical insights into diagnosing and treating subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical stroke localization, advancements in arterial imaging, and rare causes like cerebral sinus thrombosis are also addressed. Special populations, such as pregnant women and children, receive dedicated attention, along with chapters on secondary prevention, long-term complications like vascular dementia, and holistic rehabilitation strategies. With contributions from leading experts, this evidence-based resource is invaluable for healthcare professionals committed to enhancing stroke care in India.
