Summary:

This book explores and explains state-of-the-art use of antiplatelet agents. Antiplatelet Agents in Ischemic Heart Disease draws on the expertise of global leaders in antiplatelet therapy. Skillfully organized for fast reference, the book is divided into five parts: Concepts in Platelet Physiology, Function, and Measurement, Pharmacology of Oral Antiplatelet Agents, Pharmacology of Intravenous Antiplatelet Agents, Clinical Use of Antiplatelet Agents in Cardiovascular Disease, Special Circumstances.

Each chapter in the clinical section contains an overview of guidelines, plus specifics on medical and interventional uses.
