Focuses on vascular diseases. This title offers an understanding of vascular biology with reviews of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management. It equips you to effectively evaluate patients with a range of vascular diseases, and to implement the most appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies available.
