In this new volume, leading authorities from around the world provide an
evidence-based review of the therapeutic options currently available for the
management of thrombosis. Topics covered include: * the use of aspirin for
primary and secondary prophylaxis * platelet inhibitors * glycoprotein IIb and
IIa inhibitors * pentasaccharides * warfarin * the implementation of
antithrombotic therapy in managing specific clinical conditions such as
pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, stroke and diabetes, or as an adjunct
to other procedures such as PCI. Clearly-presented and easy-to-use, this text is
undoubtedly an important tool for cardiologists, neurologists, general
physicians and hospital pharmacists.
