Raynaud's syndrome is one of the most common circulatory problems which health professionals are likely to encounter. It is characterized by cold extremities particularly in the fingers and toes, which become deprived of blood and hence heat because of impaired control of the blood vessels. This book provides a full introduction to the syndrome and its treatment outlining its clinical aspects and differential diagnosis. The epidemiological aspects of the disease are explored and suggestions are given for the common sense methods of minimizing symptoms. It includes suggestions for the prevention of problems by medication and a guide to the treatment of the more extreme forms of the disease.
