Thrombosis And Anti-thrombotic Therapy

Synopsis

Abnormalities in blood constituents, in blood flow, and in vessels contribute to thrombus formation (coagulation). Coagulation of the blood can be a serious problem following surgery or cardiovascular interventions. The authors of this volume, haematologists and a cardiologist, discuss all the various types of thrombosis (inherited and acquired) and the problems associated with them, the pharmacological interventions needed for the prevention of thrombosis, embolism, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Detailed discussion is included on coagulation during pregnancy and also its role in cancer.
