Summary:

Warfarin and related drugs have been used for over a half a century in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic disorders. Only recently, however, has their clinical role been firmly established by randomized studies and their benefit/risk ratio improved by lower dose therapy with improvement in laboratory monitoring. Oral Anticoagulants is the first comprehensive, practical survey of the subject available. An international team of well-known experts provide detailed coverage on mode of action, clinical pharmacodynamics, magnitude and sources of variability in individual response to oral anticoagulants, methods of individualizing dosing regiments, laboratory monitoring, and a comparison between the different currently prescribed oral anticoagulants.
