Rakta Dushti In Pakshaghata An Integrated Ayurvedic and Modern Clinical Perspective on Cerebrovascular Accident

The central theme of this book is therefore the Vata & Rakta relationship in Pakshaghata with an attempt to correlate classical Ayurvedic concepts with relevant clinical and modern scientific observations. Particular attention is given to RBC and platelet indices as routinely available laboratory parameters that may provide useful clinical and research perspectives.

It presents an integrated approach encompassing Nidana, Purvarupa, Rupa, Samprapti, Pariksha, diagnosis, prognosis and Chikitsa together with modern neurological examination, investigations, neuroimaging, and stroke pathophysiology.
