Thrombophilia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Thrombophilia as a hypercoagulable state is a major problem in modern medicine. Thrombophiliac conditions are a frequent cause of hospital admissions and fatal exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), predominantly affecting the cardiovascular system. The book is devoted to the analysis of nosological, phenotypic determinants of the development of these conditions in patients with COPD. The book presents its own pathomorphological and clinical data substantiating high thrombophilic risks in this category of patients. The book will be of interest both to practicing physicians and researchers in the field of respiratory pathology and haemostasiology.
