Kiser, Kathryn.editor.
This case-based title reviews anticoagulation management strategies available for a wide variety of clinical scenarios. Designed to aid providers of direct patient care on complex clinical decisions regarding appropriate evidence-based therapy options, patient and agent related variables to consider, as well as expert opinion on the topic.  Oral Anticoagulation Therapy: Cases and Clinical Correlation will provide clinicians and trainees with clear clinical cases, commentary, and resources to develop their knowledge base, problem-solving skills, and ability to practically apply new knowledge to a variety of clinical situations.  Resources provided in cases include valuable figures, tables, and key points designed for the reader to be able to utilize at the point of care.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
