Reviews
“Dr. Gregory Sloop along with other contributors have introduced a very valuable book centering on the importance of blood viscosity and the role that hemorheology plays in atherosclerosis. Specifically, chapters within the book provide insights into the pathophysiology and the role that blood viscosity interplays in this disease. With this added awareness, attention and knowledge of hemorheology, clinicians and other medical and scientific personnel, are provided a better understanding of the factors involved in this cardiovascular disease state. In addition this well written book provides a thought-provoking means to potentially develop novel therapeutic regimens for future treatments, as well as a current assessment of factors in a person’s life style, which can contribute to this disease.” – J.A. St. Cyr, MD, PhD, Retired, Cardiovascular Surgeon, Minneapolis, MN, USA
