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.
