Critical Decisions in Thrombosis and Hemostasis

Jeffrey Ginsberg, Jack Hirsh, Clive Kearon

The authors use algorithms or decision trees to guide clinicians through the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of thrombotic and hemostatic disorders. These problems are often life-threatening and must be dealt with swiftly and effectively. Following a step-by-step decision tree is a proven method of conveying information quickly. There are three major sections to this book: Venous Thrombosis, Arterial Thrombosis, Hemostasis. Each section includes clinical assessment, diagnosis, and therapy, including the latest drug therapies.
