From the reviews of the second edition:

"Text thoroughly presented the subject of antithrombotic and anticoagulant therapy in great depth and with complete review of the subject. In 13 chapters outstanding experts in their field have provided the cardiovascular specialist, hematologist, and pathologist with a thorough updating of the pharmacology of antithrombotic and anticoagulant therapy. ... text should provide anyone working in the field of cardiovascular medicine or surgery and in hematology or pathology with a way to keep current with developments in the field of cardiovascular pharmacology. We recommend it highly." (Harry L. Messmore and William H. Wehrmacher, Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, November, 2010)

"Recent advances in testing and use of anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and thrombolytics and the essentials of efficacy testing, novel direct thrombin inhibitors, use of naturally-derived products, and pharmacogenomics in thrombosis. ... The book is likely to be of interest to both academic scientists and practitioners interested in the treatment of patients with thrombosis. ... This is very likely to make it onto the shelf in our laboratory, in particular as a reference for current advances in antithrombotics and thrombolytics." (James P.
