In this podcast I discuss the clinical manifestations and management of ischaemic stroke.

I also use insightful patient memoirs to illustrate the lived experience of stroke.

The podcast also reviews the mimics of stroke and the investigations of its causes and risk factors. These include such stroke risks as cervical artery dissection.

I especially discuss the roles of hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, and the unique human tendency to atherosclerosis.

I also trace historical cases of stroke – those that affected Joseph Stalin and Woodrow Wilson.
