This work offers a detailed single reference on the entire spectrum of basic and clinical studies of heparin and its effect on atherosclerosis. The book presents innovative aspects of heparin's use in both the prevention of atherosclerosis and for intervention with thrombotic complications. In addition to research studies in animals and humans, the book includes case histories, illustrates indications for heparin's prophylactic use in coronary atherosclerotic disease and compares heparin to other therapeutic modalities. The volume also covers adverse reactions to heparin and new data on lowering elevated fibrinogen levels with low-dose heparin and makes suggestions for future research.
