Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Polak has created a self-learning/review text for all health care professionals involved in diagnosing and treating peripheral vascular disease. Throughout the text, images are linked to descriptions of the pathophysiologic processes of each disorder. Clear line drawings and clinical vignettes help clarify the topic. Unlike other standard clinical references, this unique volume emphasizes self-testing, actively involving the reader. In addition, the book explores the role of color Doppler in the diagnosis of vascular disease, and compares this modality with ultrasound, all in a clear, straightforward fashion that beginners will appreciate
