Opis

Hemostasis represents a group of balanced activities that keep the blood flowing It is a complete response system which has developed to guarantee blood fluidity and to limit blood loss after wounding, and adapts after exposure to infectious micro-organisms The failure of this control system causes ischemia, severe damage to the distal tissues and, ultimately, death This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of the control of hemostasis by vascular cells It is an indispensable guide for researchers in hemostasis and vascular biology, from the post-graduate level onwards It will also be of great interest to clinicians in vascular medicine and cardiology Topics covered include: hemostatic properties of the vessel wall; anticoagulant properties of the vessel wall; other aspects of coagulation; and changes in vascular hemostatic properties
