"I would recommend this book to all physicians looking afterpatients with venous thromboembolism ... .The single authorstyle has the advantage of a consistent format and lack ofrepetition, and the book is very well written." (CardiologyNews, December 2008) "Paul Stein ... has used his vast knowledge andperspective to organize [t]his definitive text ... .In thislong-awaited second edition he builds on the knowledge baseregarding this common and yet often misdiagnosed condition. Thistext fills a gap in the knowledge-base of the physician, nurse, ortherapist who cares for patients with pulmonary embolism. By usinga clear and organized format with many graphs and diagrams, Steinprovides detailed information beyond the scope of an online review,but in a readily searchable and easily accessible format. Steindoes a nice job of explaining the challenges of using intermediateend points in the assessment of efficacy. Stein is clearly one ofthe world's experts, and this far-reaching volume is apleasure to read."
