Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The acute management of stroke has dramatically improved over the past few years, thus contributing to a reduction in case fatality. However, stroke remains a leading cause of handicap worldwide, and the aging population and the demographic transition are associated with a dramatic rise in the number of patients suffering a stroke each year. Clinicians are confronted with stroke survivors who may present with a variety of disabilities, including fatigue, anxiety, depression, behavioral changes, or cognitive impairment, even when their global outcome was regarded as favorable. Although less visible than motor sequelae, these symptoms have a negative impact on patients’ quality of life. A better understanding of the epidemiology, contributing factors, and underlying mechanisms of patients’ outcome is needed to develop innovative dedicated preventive and therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue aims to cover “Current Issues and Future Directions for Stroke Epidemiology and Management”. We invite researchers to contribute original and review articles based on observational or interventional clinical studies as well as experimental works, to provide new insights into stroke management.
