Cerebral Blood Flow Mechanisms of Ischemia, Diagnosis, and Therapy

Cerebral Blood Flow Mechanisms of Ischemia, Diagnosis, and Therapy / edited by Michael Pinsky.

Cerebral Blood Flow: Quantifying Consciousness Although the heart may be the source of energy needed to generate blood flow,and other organs absolutely essential for normal living,the brain is the reason we are alive. The collected book chapters are aimed at addressing this most fundamental organ an...
