PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - Stroke is the third most common cause of death in most industrialized countries with an estimated global mortality of 4.7 million per year. Each year, about 700 000 people suffer new or recurrent stroke. It is the major cause of serious, long-term disability, with more than 1 100 000 American adults reporting functional limitations resulting from stroke. Also, recent evidence suggests that the presence of small strokes or of local chronic ischemia may be much more common in aging populations than previously thought.
