Description

Primer on Cerebrovascular Research provides both clinical and basic cerebrovascular knowledge that is required for physicians, vascular researchers, biomedical students, and trainees to understand or conduct evidence-based clinical practice and cutting-edge experimental research. This book outlines how to a design experimental cerebrovascular research in the context of clinical relevance, conduct the study using proper methods, analyze the data accurately, and make conclusions in an unbiased and statistically correct way. Chapters will include representative examples and experimental protocols.

Key features

  • Presents both basic and clinical knowledge, along with clinical and basic science insights in cerebrovascular diseases
  • Guides the design, performance, and interpretation of basic cerebrovascular research, including statistical analysis with example cases and hand-on protocols with troubleshooting steps
  • Introduces cutting-edge knowledge and emerging technologies of basic cerebrovascular research as well as history and current status
  • Provides accurate and comprehensive references of key articles and textbooks
