Publisher's Synopsis
An adequate knowledge of basic science is paramount in order to provide optimal patient care. The value of a text detailing the science of vascular disease becomes evident when one attempts to review the voluminous literature related to that subject. This book reflects the up–to–date information available in this field with special emphasis on recently introduced molecular biology methods. The authors have attempted to give the reader a complete and comprehensive review of the basic science of vascular disease and have aimed to satisfy the curiosity of the clinician interested in gaining knowledge in this area. In addition, they provide information detailed enough to allow the students to use this text in planning and progressing in their vascular research career.
This book is sure to be of great utility to physicians dealing with vascular disease. Vascular surgeons, vascular medicine physicians, cardiologists interested in vascular disease and its management, vascular interventional radiologists, in addition to their fellows and residents, will find it worthwhile to have this book as a reference that complements books currently found dealing with the clinical aspects of peripheral vascular disease.
