Full Description
The ESC Textbook of Thrombosis is the third iteration of Therapeutic Advances in Thrombosis. Now a new addition to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) publications portfolio, it is informed by the work of the ESC's Working Group on Thrombosis. 
Written by internationally renowned experts in the field of thrombosis, the textbook presents an up-to-date and in-depth review of all aspects of thrombosis and antithrombotic therapies. Not only does it reflect contemporary European guidelines from the ESC but also it also summarizes the latest evidence from clinical trials. 
Covering the topic in great detail with thirty-one chapters, the textbook is split into four sections: Pathophysiology of thrombosis, Clinical pharmacology of antithrombotic drugs, Therapeutic strategies, and Special situations. 
Appealing to the large community of cardiovascular healthcare specialists in Europe and across the world, the textbook is a must read for cardiologists dealing with acute and chronic coronary syndromes, atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves and pulmonary embolism. It will also appeal to cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular researchers, and general physicians alike.
