Venous diseases are becoming more and more frequent. An increasing
number of people suffer from varicose veins, chronic venous stasis
and, as a result, venous ulcers. Thus it is increading important
for physicians and surgeons to make an accurate and early diagnosis
of weaknesses in the vein wall, and for nurses to effect and monitor
the care plan. The colour atlas serves the needs of a wide range
of professionals by reinforcing diagnostic skills and suggesting
management. It covers the basic anatomy, the different types of
varices, the clinical stages of chronic venous stasis and inflammatory
venous changes, by means of excellent colour photographs, X-rays,
drawings and concise, practical text.
