From the reviews: "It is designed to be a source for translational vascular medicine research. The book is intended for physicians, residents, fellows, and graduate students from a variety of different specialties related to vascular disease. ... This is a unique compilation of topics that would be valuable to both physicians and researchers, with the common interest being vascular disease. It is well written and carefully thought out. It is a welcome addition to the literature and fills an obvious void in existing publications." (Melina Kibbe, Doody's Review Service, March, 2013)
