Management and Prevention of Thrombosis in Primary Care

This book is a comprehensive practical guide to the understanding and management of thromboembolytic disease. Management of thrombosis, formerly the domain of the cardiologist or haemotologist, has become an increasingly significant issue in primary care and general practice, particularly as the range of therapies available has increased.



With a uniform structure taking the reader through a background pathophysiology chapter, management strategies and drug administration, this will be an invaluable guide to the general physician who lacks formal training in this area plus the trainee or practising cardiologist, haematologist and cardiovascular surgeon.
