Despite strong areas of data presentation, the book is uneven. Most of the authors are native English speakers, but not all. It is discouraging that the first 2 sentences in the introduction to chapter 1—an otherwise adequate chapter on use of thrombolysis in ischemic stroke—contain grammatical errors. The first 3 chapters are almost purely factual. However, the fourth, on the use of anticoagulant therapy in the prevention of stroke, is both pleasant to read and full of useful up-to-date information, including discussions on dabigatran, diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, and the management of atrial fibrillation and other disorders of the heart.
