Thrombotic and bleeding disorders affect at least 10 million people in the US alone. As a result there has been much more interest and research into this field. The field of haematology is undergoing major advances in thrombosis research, including significant additions to recommended treatment protocols and guidelines. This new handbook will cover all aspects of the practical mangement of commonly encountered thrombotic and bleeding disorders, with emphasis on clinical diagnosis, treatment and day-to-day management. It will distil the most clinically relevant material from the literature for all those working in the field of haemostasis and thrombosis.
