Book Description

Unprecedented advances have been made in the field of cardiovascular pathology, requiring healthcare professionals to stay informed of the latest techniques, concepts, research and treatment options in order to effectively care for their patients. Edited by Dr. Bruce McManus and Dr. Eugene Braunwald, the Atlas of Cardiovascular Pathology provides the reader with a comprehensive, visually-striking presentation of all aspects of cardiovascular pathology. Over 700 superb illustrations, published alongside brief, explanatory text, fully explain difficult concepts and procedures in a clear and definitive fashion. The Atlas of Cardiovascular Pathology contains the latest information to provide a fundamental understanding of topics such as coronary anomalies, myocarditis, pathology of arrhythmias, and diseases of the aorta. A variety of images including graphs, waveforms, gross and microscopic pathologic changes, plus the results of clinical trials and algorithms, have been carefully selected and professionally prepared to provide you with an unsurpassable reference you will turn to time and time again.

Book Description

“Comprehensive Cardiovascular Medicine in the Primary Care Setting” provides an authoritative, detailed discussion of cardiovascular disease balanced with practical utility. Disease states are explained with emphasis on risk factors, risk estimation, and established cardiac disease. This book also delves into the co-morbid conditions which surround cardiovascular disease, including peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and erectile dysfunction, with the goal of improving quality of life for affected individuals. An abundance of algorithms, case studies, and recommendations on evidence-based best practices facilitate rapid learning. A key resource for the busy practitioner, this book is designed to give the reader the skills to confidently perform assessments, initiate and maintain efficacious therapy, and know when a referral to a cardiologist is advisable.

Book Description

The enormous advances in molecular biology and genetics coupled with the progress in instrumentation and surgical techniques have produced a voluminous and often bewildering quantity of data. The primary objective of a second edition of Cardiovascular Physiology in the Genetically Engineered Mouse is to interpret critically the literature and to provide a framework for the enormous amount of information in this burgeoning field. As in the first edition, the monograph serves as a practical guide for the investigator interested in the functional methods used to characterize the murine cardiovascular phenotype. The monograph is organized into three parts. The first deals with principles of transgenesis and homologous recombination. The second part, which again is the largest, discusses the various techniques used to assess the cardiovascular mechanical, metabolic, and electrophysiologic phenotype. This section is organized in a hierarchical manner- i.e. from isolated myocyte to isolated heart to the intact, anesthetized and conscious mouse. The third part examines techniques used to evaluate murine smooth muscle function, genetic mouse models of hypertrophy and heart failure, and the methods to assess the cardiovascular phenotype in the developing mouse embryo. In addition, newer methods that `push the envelope’, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and computed tomography (microCT) are discussed. Expanded and updated, each chapter is richly enhanced with original tables and figures, and in many cases, extensively rewritten when compared with the first edition. An essential and enduring goal of this second edition is to continue to facilitate interactions between the basic science disciplines and help bridge the gap between molecular biology and physiology.

Book Description

The aim of this book is to provide a compact text for practicing physicians and cardiologists or radiologists in training that contains all aspects of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging relevant for the appropriate use of this imaging modality in clinical practice. In a tutorial style, the book provides an overview of the relevant physics that govern CMR imaging and provide details on commonly accepted indications for referral. The book also provides the necessary background information to get trainees prepared for training in a CMR center. The emphasis of the book will be on practical, hands-on information in a format small enough to be carried about for ease of use. The book will be a dense but extremely portable reference for all cardiologists involved in using or requesting MRI of their cardiac patients. This will be an all-in-one resource and of great clinical value.

Book Description

The interpretation of MR images of congenital heart disease can be difficult without previous experience or formal training. This book provides insight into specific, pathologic conditions along with key MR and CT images depicting the pathology with a clear interpretation. Each image is detailed and clearly labeled with a central key for the specific condition, allowing the reader to track anatomical structures through the separate imaging planes. A concise yet clear interpretation of each image is given to aid learning. The imaging planes and protocols used to obtain the images are presented, allowing the user to plan future MR studies of patients with similar conditions.

Book Description

This book offers practical guidance in choosing the procedure most likely to answer the clinical question. The emphasis throughout is on establishing and utilizing a systematic approach to test selection and test-result analysis, with due consideration given to non-nuclear noninvasive cardiac diagnostic procedures when appropriate. For each of the procedures reviewed, the reader is apprised of the radiopharmaceuticals required, the physiologic mechanisms involved, test acquisition and processing methods, potential technical problems, common pitfalls to avoid, and normal and abnormal findings.
