Platelets in Cardiovascular Disease provides an in-depth and
current coverage of relevant platelet biology and antiplatelet
therapy that is in clinical use today and potentially for the
future. The book provides a succinct overview of the critical role
of platelets in cardiovascular medicine.Cardiovascular disease is
the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and recent research has
found that the platelet is central to the genesis of heart attacks
and stroke as well as many of the complications of angioplasty and
bypass surgery. An explosion of knowledge of the biology of
platelets has established their important role in the formation of
blood clots and, perhaps more intriguingly, their role as
inflammatory cells. This growth in information has been paralleled
by the development of several drugs that can interfere with
platelet action and thereby improve patient outcomes. Indeed,
several antiplatelet drugs already in development may ultimately
lead to marked advances in both the treatment and prevention of
cardiovascular disease.Drawing upon a panel of international
experts, Platelets in Cardiovascular Disease delivers a concise yet
thorough review of the major developments in antiplatelet therapy.
Practicing clinicians as well as those involved in the development
of new antithrombotic therapies will find the book interesting and
useful.
