Written and edited by world-renowned leaders in the field! Presents new directions for the prevention and treatment of arterial and venous cardiovascular thrombotic and thromboembolic diseases. Updates contemporary thinking regarding low-molecular-weight-heparins (LMWH), platelet receptor antagonists, and direct thrombin inhibitors to manage acute coronary syndromes. Evaluates contemporary strategies for anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy to improve early clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention. Offering diagnostic and management strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality from acute coronary syndromes and acute pulmonary embolism, Thrombosis and Thromboembolism is a superb reference for cardiologists, internists, primary care physicians, vascular medicine specialists, vascular surgeons, hematologists, pulmonologists and critical care physicians, cardiovascular surgeons, cardiac care nurses, and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students in these disciplines.

Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in both
men and women in most industrialized countries. Yet it is largely
preventable, and health care providers can acquire the skills to
help their patients reduce their risks substantially. Traditional
risk factors such as cigarette smoking, hypercholesterolimia,
hypertension, sedentary lifestyle, obesity and glucose intolerance
explain a major proportion of coronary events. Recent evidence also
suggests important adjunctive roles for hormone replacement therapy
in postmenopausal women, and aspirin prophlaxis in individuals at
high risk of a first myocardial infarction. Emerging evidence
indicates an important role for diet in the prevention of heart
disease. Although the importance of lifestyle and behavioral
modifications may well be known among physicians and other
health-care providers, the implementation of this knowledge has
been limited. One reason is that the information supporting the
value, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of risk-reduction
strategies has not been previously synthesized and made widely
available to health-care providers in office and community
settings.
