Vascular Complications in Human Disease Mechanisms and Consequences

Vascular Complications in Human Disease Mechanisms and Consequences / edited by David Abraham, Clive Handler, Michael Dashwood, Gerry Coghlan.

Vascular disease provides a clear example of the inherent and practical relationship between basic science and clinical medicine. Basic science underpins the rationale of treatment and potential future therapeutic approaches; problems in clinical management often direct new lines of laboratory resea...
