Intravascular thrombus formation remains one of the mostsignificant problems in cardiovascular medicine. It underlies theclinical presentation of acute coronary syndromes, includingunstable angina and non–ST–segment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI) and ST–segment elevation myocardial infarction.

More and more individuals are stricken with an acute MI andundergo a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Several reasonsapply, including an increasingly aged population, the growingburden of chronic risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, sedentarybehaviour, and improvements in early recognition and intervention.Thrombus formation also results in substantial morbidity andmortality. Despite significant advances in prevention and treatmentof venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism remains a commonpreventable cause of hospital deaths. Implementing the mostappropriate, and safe, anticoagulation therapy across the spectrumof cardiovascular disease in the presence of a wide range of otherrisk factors remains a challenge.

Written by leading authorities in the field, ManagementStrategies in Antithrombotic Therapy offers a comprehensivereview of antithrombotic therapy, including the latest therapies,risk factors and evidence–based strategy. The book acquaintsreaders with the data behind the commonly used antithromboticagents and assists them in formulating a sound, evidence–basedtherapeutic strategy appropriate for each patient.

This book is an invaluable resource for all postgraduatestudents and specialist physicians in cardiovascular medicine,cardiac and vascular surgery, and critical care.
