Vascular Disease in Women highlights the epidemiology, natural history and treatment of vascular disease, specifically as it pertains to women. The book provides a thorough overview of what is known and waht is now known about vascular disease in women and highlights opportunities for further education and research on this topic. The book will serve as an essential reference for both clinicians and researchers, discussing the disease prevalence, treatment options, and treatment outcomes for vascular disease in women and explores the need for future research in vascular disease specifically as it pertains to women.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of vascular disease as it affects women
- Includes contributions from world-renowned vascular surgeons of both genders, who have a vested interest in women’s vascular health
- Covers what is known and not known about vascular disease in women, prompting further research in the area for what is still unknown
