Finally, a convenient, one-volume summary of current knowledge on
an area of increasing importance! The Vulnerable Atherosclerotic
Plaque presents contributions from the best investigators in
the field, skillfully edited for easy reading and lavishly
illustrated with high-quality, full-color images.
After a considered and concise introduction, the book
concentrates on:
* * Pathology of vulnerable plaque
* Triggers for plaque rupture
* Imaging of unstable plaque
* Management of vulnerable plaques
Careful editing allows the authors to avoid repetition and
provide comprehensive coverage of pathology, detection, and
management. This thorough and authoritative reference will change
the way interventionists look at the disease.
