This book provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the
Antiphospholipid syndrome. One of the most important advances in
rheumatology and connective tissue diseases of the last decade. It
provides an explanation for many previously undefined conditions
with no clear pathogenesis encompassing all subspeculations in
internal medicine as well as obstetrics. Clotting problems leading
to strokes and myocardial infarctions (in younger people) as well
as a large variety of other syndromes such as chorea,
hyproadrenalism, pulmonary problems are now being understood.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases, Second
Edition provides an overview of our current understanding of this
major disease. It includes the latest information on the new
pathogenetic mechanisms involved, along with clinical
manifestations in both the thrombotic and non-thrombotic
manifestations of this important disease. Antiphospholipid syndrome
is an autoimmune disease that causes abnormal blood clots. It is
now recognized as a major cause of common conditions, including
stroke, heart attack, miscarriage, epilepsy, and memory loss, and
as such is gaining recognition in all branches of medicine, from
obstetrics to cardiology, and from psychiatry to orthopedics.
