A Textbook of Vascular Medicine

By Lowe Tooke

Vascular medicine is a relatively new specialty bringing together the concerns of vascular surgeons, cardiologists, angiologists, hypertensionists and physicians caring for diabetic patients. Clinical problems include thrombosis (an important cause of death in the West), leg ulcers, haemorrhage, lymphoedema and hypertension. The main treatment for these disorders has traditionally been surgery but there is an increasing choice of alternatives, including minimally invasive therapies and drugs, together with an expanding knowledge of the underlying biology and pathology. The textbook presents a comprehensive account of all aspects of this complex area with emphasis on clinical practice.
