Antiplatelet Therapy In Ischemic Heart Disease

This book in the new American Heart Association Clinical Series, explores and explains state–of–the–art use of antiplatelet agents and draws on the expertise of global leaders in antiplatelet therapy. Skillfully organized for fast reference, the book is divided into five parts:

Concepts in Platelet Physiology, Function, and Measurement
Pharmacology of Oral Antiplatelet Agents
Pharmacology of Intravenous Antiplatelet Agents
Clinical Use of Antiplatelet Agents in Cardiovascular Disease
Special Circumstances.
Each chapter in the clinical section contains an overview of guidelines, plus specifics on medical and interventional uses.
Clinical cardiologists, platelet biologists, and a wide range of practicing and prospective clinicians in allied fields will find this text an exceptional source of current information.
