Valentín Fuster Book order

Provides the reader with a practical approach to the treatment of patients with cardioavascular disease.

A substantial and transforming revision of a classic text, the Ninth Edition of The Heart reflects the modern molecular focus of the new cardiology while embracing the physicians need for concise information on diagnosis and therapy. The editors have consolidated the table of contents, refocused the sections, reduced the number of chapters, and eliminated overlap. A new generation of contributors -- all rising stars in cardiology -- have been recruited to refresh many of the chapters and to expand the author base.

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.
