Vascular advances and economical developments make integration of vascular medicine and care a compelling future imperative. Written for cardiologists, angiologists, radiologists, surgeons and other physicians who care for vascular patients, PanVascular Medicine provides a comprehensive integrated review of all relevant vascular topics in one volume. Introductory chapters (Part I), non-invasive and invasive diagnostics (Part II) are followed by expert reviews of diseases of the coronary, cerebrovascular, peripheral, thoracic, abdominal, endocrine and genitourinary vascular circulations (Parts III-X). Emerging interdisciplinary coalescence of vascular therapeutic principles and cooperative hybrid management strategies are emphasized. Each topic is reviewed and discussed by teams of leading vascular medical, interventional and surgical specialists. Integration of topics and concise style assure an easy access and expert clinical decision making.
