Abstract
An extraordinary publication prepared by a team of top cardiologists and neurologists led by prof. MUDr.
Petr Widimský, DrSc., And prof. MUDr.
Ivana Štětkářová, Ph.D., deals with diseases with a key medical and socio-economic impact. The close interconnection of the two systems - cardiovascular and nervous - is the reason that a disorder of one often has the immediate consequence of the failure of the other.
This is the reason for the sad fact that around half of the world's population dies from cardiovascular disease, dominated by two diseases of the same frequency - myocardial infarction and stroke. However, the topic of neurocardiology is much broader, as shown in a brief overview of the chapters.
