Struck Down By The Gods – the translation of the ancient word for stroke or apoplexy – explores one of medicine’s most misunderstood conditions.

In this deeply researched book, acclaimed teacher, professor and neurologist Peter Gates brings more than 40 years’ experience in examining the different types of strokes, the medical conditions often confused with it and the practical steps we can take to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

Timely, thought-provoking and drawing on centuries of medical evidence, Struck Down By The Gods helps readers better understand their bodies and take informed steps towards protecting their long-term heart and brain health.
