Thrombosis in Cardiovascular Disorders

by Valentín Fuster, Marc Verstraete

This reference provides guidance on clinical and scientific principles and concepts behind thrombosis and heart disease. It seeks to bridge the gap between cardiology, haematology, molecular biology and clinical medicine. The text builds an organized framework that begins with Fundamental Considerations, an overview of the general mechanisms of thrombosis and their relationship to atherosclerosis. The second section, Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Drugs covers pharmacologic therapy, and the final section discusses the Prevention and Treatment of Thromboembolic Disorders.
