About this book
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:
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â responsible for 1 in 5 recurrent miscarriages (now successfully treated with aspirin and heparin)
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â responsible for 1 in 5 young (under 45) strokes
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â a major cause of early heart attacks
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â responsible for 1 in 5 deep vein thromboses
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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.
