Atherothrombosis. Vol. 1

From a clinical and therapeutic viewpoint, it is vital to have an overall view of the arterial pathology involved in artherothrombosis.
Research carried out over the past 20 years has highlighted several basic parameters in atherothrombosis: the rate at which the illness spreads, the importance of the evolutive nature of atheromic plaques and the key role of platelets in arterial thrombosis.
This modern view means that atherothrombosis should be regarded as a "systemic" illness that requires an overall approach to treatment.
The book provides an update covering all aspects of such treatment: - Correcting vascular risk factors - Regular physical exercise - Antiplatelet treatment
