Venous thrombosis and its treatment

This work is the first in a series devoted to ongoing medical training, edited by Professor Bruno Varet. Under the auspices of the review Hématologie and the Société Française d'Hématologie (SFH), the magazine's editorial board asked the most experienced SFH members to contribute articles on the troublesome points most often encountered by non-specialist hospital doctors and interns.
The contents include:
- How the physiology of hemostasis sheds light on the physiology of venous thrombosis
- Anti-clotting molecules and their action in venous thrombosis
- Genetic risk factors for thrombosis
- Diagnosing deep-seated venous thrombosis
- When and how to prescribe biological tests to establish the etiology of a thrombosis
- Primary prevention of venous thromboembolic conditions
- Drug treatment of established venous thrombosis and prevention of relapses
- Heparin-induced thrombopenia
