| Summary |
Hughes Syndrome: Highways and Byways is a handy and easy-to-read guide to the main features of Hughes syndrome. There has been worldwide interest in this 'new' syndrome (first described in 1983). A clotting tendency which can potentially affect any organ in the body, it is: * responsible for 1 in 5 recurrent miscarriages (now successfully treated with aspirin and heparin) * responsible for 1 in 5 young (under 45) strokes * a major cause of early heart attacks * responsible for 1 in 5 deep vein thromboses * an important cause of migraine. Hughes Syndrome: Highways and Byways is a valuable resource for professionals with an interest in the subject, as well as general practitioners and patients |
