This book is devoted to COVID-19 associated coagulopathy, one of the main determinants of mortality. The volume, intended as a guide, will lead the reader in a pathway starting from pathophysiology and passing through laboratory data, clinical aspects, imaging, and therapeutic options. Written in the middle of the second wave, the book is the first addressing the topic and summarizing the results of studies and articles meanwhile published, thus representing a unique tool for clinicians fighting the disease. The Coagulation Labyrinth of Covid-19 is intended for clinicians working with acute and sub-acute ARDS cases: intensivists, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, hematologists, who will find in it an essential guide to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
