Cardiac Arrest
The human brain is dependent upon the delivery of oxygen and glucose and the removal of waste products for normal activity with the interruption of this cycle resulting in tissue injury. A reduction of oxygen content within the brain parenchyma is the sta

The increased recognition of the importance of cognition as an outcome in vascular neuroscience seems to have arisen because of not only the direct effects of disease on brain function but also the widening appreciation of the cognitive implication
