Neuropsychology of Cardiovascular Disease
Something here of interest to all. Excerpts following as I have time.
I'm sure this is all old territory for the physicians posting but it
was not to me. For example I did not know that many cardiovascular
conditons carry a risk of cognitive dysfunction quite apart from risk
associated with medications and procedures used to treat the
conditions.
This book is availabe on Amazon.com but I obtained it easily through
inter-library loan from a university medical library.
