Resumo

Stroke affects people of the same age and in the same numbers as coronary heart disease1; thrombolytic therapy is highly effective for selected patients in the first three hours2; and both treatment in stroke units3 and immediate brain imaging4 are cost effective. Yet patients and the public have low expectations of outcomes after stroke.
