Description

Book Synopsis
Edited by a team of the world's leading interventional cardiologists and educators, this book gives the reader a clinically focused understanding of this important class of drugs, from basic science to a clear-headed discussion of complex topics such as combination therapies, drug-to-drug interactions, and resistance to antiplatelet agents.

Trade Review

Written by an international who's-who of experts in the field, Antiplatelet Therapy also includes an entire section covering the use of antiplatelet drugs in PCIs, including percutaneous valve repair, which makes this text particularly essential to Interventional Cardiologists.” (Kingbook73's Medical Ebook and Video Collection, 20 August 2014)
