作者简介
Pulmonary Vascular Disease offers a current and comprehensive review of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary hypertension and venous thromboembolism. Thousands of patients die each year from the effects of pulmonary vascular disease. Proper diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management can improve the likelihood of survival in these patients. * Includes discussion of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies; plus treatment options, including the benefits and risks of each treatment. * Multiple CT scans of affected patients -- CTs show variations of PH and VT, important for diagnosis. * Text boxes with information related to Key Points, Pitfalls, and other information will be used throughout the text.
