Vasculopathies

Vasculopathies | Internal Medicine — Expert Reference

How it begins

Estudio sistemático y exhaustivo de las vasculopatías desde la perspectiva de la medicina interna: la patología de arterias, venas, capilares y linfáticos, sus mecanismos moleculares, su correlato fisiopatológico y su traducción clínica. Una revisión integradora del endotelio enfermo hasta el síndrome isquémico, hemorrágico, inflamatorio y trombótico.
