Pharmacological Therapies for Peripheral Vascular Disease

Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) are at increased risk of death when compared with age-matched healthy controls. They are also whether symptomatic or not six times more likely to die within ten years when compared to patients without the disease. This excess mortality exists even if coronary artery disease is not clinically present and makes the treatment of PVD a highly important and pressing topic. In this fully up-to-date text Dr. Mukherjee and his excellent team of twenty-one contributors present the reader with all of the currently available clinical information for treating PVD patients effectively.
