Clinical Hemorheology Applications in Cardiovascular and Hematological Disease, Diabetes, Surgery and Gynecology
The task the editors have set themselves is to survey the field of clinical hemorheology from basic principles to up-to-date research. It is only in a new science like this that it is possible to span the whole field in a book of this size. Hemorheology, as a new approach to the study and management...
