Manual of Vascular Diseases

Synopsis

This convenient and portable manual written by cross-disciplinary leading experts is a practical "how-to" guide which
emphasizes management of vascular diseases. Designed for quick reference at the point of care, the manual provides easy
access to information that is crucial for clinical decision making.

Chapters succinctly describe the most effective diagnostic assessment and treatment strategies, including drug doses,
protocols for patient management, and algorithms. The book also includes chapters on diagnostic aspects of lower
extremity arterial disease, history and physical examination, diagnostic angiography, and the use of magnetic resonance
angiography in vascular disease.
