This resource delivers comprehensive guidance on caring for patients with arterial and venous conditions - from history-taking, physical examination, and health assessment through choosing the appropriate diagnostic tests and implementing management strategies. A logical organisation speeds readers to the information they need, starting with basic principles of investigation, followed by coverage of the most common arterial and vascular diseases, and ending with a section on special disorders such as lymphedoema, compartment syndrome, unilateral leg swelling, and thoracic outlet syndrome.
