About the book:
Coagulation can be confusing, to say the least. This guide demystifies coag with easy-to-understand descriptions of clotting and anti-clotting, an explanation of laboratory tests, and succinct but complete reviews of bleeding disorders (like von Willebrand disease) and thrombotic disorders (like factor V Leiden). Itâ€™s short and complete, and it has tons of helpful mnemonics, charts and tables.

Whatâ€™s inside:
â€¢ The basics of clotting: platelet plug formation and the dreaded coagulation cascade
â€¢ The basics of anti-clotting: natural anticoagulants and fibrinolytics
â€¢ Laboratory tests: common (or otherwise important) platelet and coagulation tests
â€¢ Bleeding disorders (von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, hereditary platelet disorders, DIC, ITP, TTP, HUS, and others)
â€¢ Thrombotic disorders (factor V Leiden, ATIII deficiency, protein C and S deficiencies, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and others)

Why itâ€™s painless:
â€¢ Itâ€™s short (so you donâ€™t waste time sorting out whatâ€™s important)
â€¢ Itâ€™s complete (so you donâ€™t have to use other sources to figure things out)
â€¢ Itâ€™s easy to understand (no complicated text that you need to re-read three times)
â€¢ There are lots of helpful mnemonics (including a bizarre, sexy one for the coagulation cascade)
â€¢ It will make you look good (it gives answers to the questions most commonly asked by professors and attendings)
â€¢ There are nice, clean charts and tables (because tables are much easier to remember than paragraphs of text)
â€¢ Itâ€™s illustrated with explanatory photos (so you have more than just Roman numerals to picture in your brain)
â€¢ Itâ€™s got everything you need to know to really understand coag â€“ minus the anxiety and torture.

Bottom line:
Full of straightforward diagrams, helpful memory aids, and answers to commonly-asked test questions, this guide helps students retain the concepts of coagulation and translate them into real-life use.
