Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cerebrovascular diseases and strokes belong to a group of diseases that are among the most important in medicine due to their high incidence, prevalence, and severity. They are the leading causes of disabling sequelae in adults and one of the main causes of death worldwide.

These facts make the study and management of these diseases mandatory for all physicians and public health programs. Up-to-date knowledge in this field is essential.
In recent decades, significant progress has been made in improving knowledge of their pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Significant advances have been observed in different aspects, facts translated by many high-level publications and important multicenter clinical trials, which underpin knowledge and conduct.
This Special Issue, which specifically addresses cerebrovascular diseases and stroke in all their aspects, will focus, clearly and objectively, on up-to-date works in this field, aiming to contribute to progress and bring the enable the best treatment for the management of these patients.
