Rezensionen

"This is a useful addition to the library of hematologists, internists, pathologists, and other clinicians who use anticoagulant therapy. It is a helpful reference for the history of drug development and clinical trials in this area of medicine. Although many textbooks of hematology and internal medicine will contain some of this information, I am not aware of another recent book with this comprehensive focus." --Doody
