Mitral Valve Transesophageal Echocardiography



Description ,review and table of contents of Mitral Valve Transesophageal Echocardiography : Over the past few years transesophageal echocardiography has become one of the most exciting imaging modalities available today in modern clinical cardiology.
Transesophageal echocardiography and MRI imaging has substantially improved our understanding of mitral valve anatomy and physiology with multiplane transesophageal echocardiography having a true advantage through its portability, relatively inexpensive equipment and seminoninvasive nature. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography provides high resolution cardiac images in an infinite number of planes.
When combined with conventional and color Doppler modalities, this offers a superlative diagnostic tool for evaluating cardiac structure and function.you can download Mitral Valve Transesophageal Echocardiography Book for free from the download link.

Schillinger Complications in Peripheral Vascular Interventions



Description ,review and table of contents of Schillinger Complications in Peripheral Vascular Interventions : Minimal invasive endovascular treatment of peripheral arteries is one of the most rapidly evolving techniques in interventional therapies. Advanced technologies enable treatment of more complex lesions in severely diseased patients. Increasing evidence suggests that, particularly in high-risk patients, endovascular solutions offer substantial advantages compared to vascular surgical procedures. Nevertheless, growing numbers of procedures are associated with an increased incidence of complications. Knowledge of specific complications in different vessel areas will support the interventionist in preventing such adverse events and, if necessary, provide considerable reassurance if such complications need to be resolved.you can download Schillinger Complications in Peripheral Vascular Interventions Book for free from the download link.

The Echocardiographers Guide



The Echocardiographers Guide : This book will describe a method of performing a complete tranthoracic echocardiographic examination, which integrates M-mode, two-dimensional imaging, and Doppler for each acoustic window. All technologists should follow a systematic protocol so that no important information is omitted. After the patient is greeted and the test explained, a brief history should be obtained before beginning the examination. This will help keep the examination focused on relevant clinical issues.you can download The Echocardiographers Guide Book for free from the download link.

WOMEN HEART DISEASE Second 2nd edition



Description ,review and table of contents of WOMEN HEART DISEASE Second 2nd edition : Information about coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease in women is rapidly escalating, likely as a component of the concept of sex-specific medicine during the past decade. Unequivocally, the landmark 2001 Institute of Medicine report Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health: Does Sex Matter?2 has been the beacon for better understanding of the differences in human diseases between the sexes and translation of these differences into clinical practiceyou can download WOMEN HEART DISEASE Second 2nd edition Book for free from the download link.

Diabetic Cardiology



Description ,review and table of contents of Diabetic Cardiology Diabetic Cardiolog : There are now several books that examine the clinical and scientific overlap of cardiovascular disease in diabetes, and these often seem to either tackle issues from a general medical perspective, or focus more on a diabetes and metabolic perspective.
In this book we have deliberately chosen to examine the area from a cardiological perspective, hence the title ‘Diabetic Cardiology’. Following chapters on the epidemiology and patho-physiology of cardiovascular disease in diabetes there are detailed chapters on the way that diabetes will be viewed by those running a cardiovascular service, covering stable coronary disease, acute coronary syndromes, cardiac failure, hypertension, strokes, and peripheral vascular diseaseyou can download Diabetic Cardiology Diabetic Cardiolog Book for free from the download link.

Adult Congenital Heart Disease



Description ,review and table of contents of Adult Congenital Heart Disease : The diagnosis and successful management of congenital heart disease represents one of the greatest triumphs of cardiovascular medicine and surgery in the 20th century. As a consequence, the number of adults with congenital heart disease – both with repaired and unrepaired lesions – has grown rapidly, and is now approaching one million in North America. Similar increases have occurred in Western Europe. The care of adults with congenital heart disease represents a major challenge

Management of Heart Failure



Description ,review and table of contents of Management of Heart Failure : Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome occurring as the end result of many different forms of heart disease.
There are many different definitions and classifications of heart failure (Table 1.1) but a simple, practical definition of the syndrome of heart failure is that it is characterized by typical symptoms such as shortness of breath, exercise limitation and fatigue and clinical signs of peripheral and/or pulmonary congestion, associated with abnormalities of cardiac structure and function1.
The syndrome of heart failure results in significant impairment of quality of life, more so than with many other chronic diseases2, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Heart failure frequently occurs in the setting of preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction3,4 and thus a practical clinical definition of the syndrome1, rather than reliance on a single factor such as impaired LV ejection fraction, allows identification of the broad group of patients affected by this conditionyou can download Management of Heart Failure Book for free from the download link.

Pathology of Sudden Cardiac Death An Illustrated Guide



Description ,review and table of contents of Pathology of Sudden Cardiac Death An Illustrated Guide : By far, cardiovascular disease is the leading primary or contributing cause of death in Western society.
Cardiovascular death may be sudden and unexpected or may result from known or suspected disease. This bookwill review and illustrate themultiplicity of mechanisms that can result in cardiovascular collapse and death. We have chosen to review the topic of cardiac death in the format of an illustrated guide or atlas since we believe the visual picture provides a lasting impression of the fundamental disease states.
The cases reviewed in this book span the spectrum from common and ordinary diseases to rare and unusual conditions. By seeing the different states juxtaposed to each other, it is our hope that the reader will appreciate the many conditions that either directly cause sudden cardiac death or provide the substrate for the development of future lethal cardiac conditions.you can download Pathology of Sudden Cardiac Death An Illustrated Guide Book for free from the download link.

Atrial Fibrillation



Description ,review and table of contents of Atrial Fibrillation : Atrial fibrillation is by far the most frequently diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia in humans, accounting for tens of thousands of hospital admissions and millions of doctor visits. It is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality independent of the myriad of disease states with which it commonly coexists.
Though given a common appellation, what we call atrial fibrillation represents a cornucopia of diseases extending from a focally activated pulmonary vein generator in patients with normal hearts to the diffuse degenerative disease process seen in the very old. It is this diversity of mechanism, combined with our primitive knowledge of its pathophysiology, which has rendered this arrhythmia so resistant to a myriad of interventions. It is the rare patient who can be ‘‘cured.’’you can download Atrial Fibrillation Book for free from the download link.

Coronary heart diseases in clinical practice



Healthy living constitutes an integral part of preventing coronary heart disease (CHD). It lowers the risk of CHD both in free-living, high-risk patients and in cardiac patients. The combined effect of a healthy diet and lifestyle factors is larger than their individual effects.
Trials based on both primary prevention in high-risk patients and secondary prevention in cardiac patients show that there is substantial reduction in the risk of CHD by suitable diet and lifestyle changes. Cholesterol lowering is not the only route through which diet can influence the occurrence of CHD in cardiac patients. Dietary changes that influence other metabolic pathways can also be beneficial. read more about this Cardiology book : Coronary heart diseases in clinical practice free book download and review.

Heart Disease in Pregnancy Second 2nd edition



Description ,review and table of contents of Heart Disease in Pregnancy Second 2nd edition : The second edition, like the first one, is intended to provide practical guidance to clinicians looking after patients with heart disease, or who may be at risk of cardiac problems, in pregnancy and the puerperium. These will be hospital physicians and cardiologists, obstetricians, general practitioners and specialist nurses who provide direct care as well as the anaesthetists responsible for making delivery safe and the geneticists who answer the many questions posed by couples with a personal or family history of heart disease.

Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician



Description ,review and table of contents of Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician : Hemodynamics is concerned with the mechanical and physiologic properties controlling blood pressure and flow through the body.
A full discussion of hemodynamic principles is beyond the scope of this book. In this chapter, we present an overview of basic principles that are helpful in understanding hemodynamics.you can download Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician Book for free from the download link.

Problem Oriented Approaches in Interventional Cardiology



Description ,review and table of contents of Problem Oriented Approaches in Interventional Cardiology : We think we have outlined in this book a mature technical description for the usage of drugeluting stents.
Despite all the worrisome information about drug-eluting stents, I remain convinced that these devices represent a major advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease. Even though the principles of evidencebased medicine must remain second to providing hard data, drug-eluting stents are saving lives!you can download Problem Oriented Approaches in Interventional Cardiology Book for free from the download link.

Putting evidence into practice Smoking cessation



Description ,review and table of contents of Putting evidence into practice Smoking cessation : Most smokers want to quit.1 But most attempts fail and new smokers are constantly recruited, so about 45 million American adults still smoke. Cigarette smoking remains the single most avoidable cause of death and disability in the United States.Sequelae of smoking include cardiovascular and respiratory disease, cancer (e.g., lung, larynx, esophagus, mouth, bladder, cervix, pancreas, kidneys), and infant deaths related to maternal smoking. Increasingly, the dangers of secondhand smoke, such as cardiac disease and lung cancer, are also recognized by researchers and policy makersyou can download Putting evidence into practice Smoking cessation Book for free from the download link.

HEART FAILURE IN THE ELDERLY



Description ,review and table of contents of HEART FAILURE IN THE ELDERLY : Although the heart failure (HF) syndrome has been recognized for more than 2000 years, it has been only within the last 25 years that HF has emerged as a major public health concern.
A principal reason for this relatively recent development is that HF is primarily a disorder of the elderly, and only in the last half-century has life expectancy increased sufficiently to allow more HF cases to emerge. In the United States, mean life expectancy at birth increased from 49 years in 1900 to 77 years in 2000.
Over the next 25 years, the number of people over age 65 will double from 35 million to more than 70 million, with the largest relative growth occurring in those over age 85. Furthermore, as treatments and survival rates for other cardiovascular diseases improve, particularly hypertension and ischemic heart disease, more patients will be living and dying with HF.

Heart Failure A Combined Medical and Surgical Approach



Description ,review and table of contents of Heart Failure A Combined Medical and Surgical Approach : This model in medicine is not new. In many respects this process is very similar to the care of patients with congenital heart disease as employed in many children’s hospitals across the world. Many of these centers have developed interdisciplinary teams of pediatric cardiologists, congenital heart surgeons, and affiliated consultants and support staff. The team works together to make the proper diagnosis, prevent the progression of disease, identify optimal medical therapy and the proper timing for interventional and surgical therapies. Centers of excellence evolved from this approach.you can download Heart Failure A Combined Medical and Surgical Approach Book for free from the download link.

Handbook of Patient Care in Vascular Diseases 5th fifth Edition


Description ,review and table of contents of Handbook of Patient Care in Vascular Diseases 5th fifth Edition : For more than two decades the Handbook of Patient Care in Vascular Diseases has provided health care providers at all levels a practical reference that emphasizes fundamentals and clinical concepts that “culminate in excellent outcome for vascular patients” (Darling C., First Edition).
While the Handbook has a tradition of excellence, it finds itself in a new age of vascular care. Early editions were published in an era when information was exchanged at national meetings and in print and turned at a sluggish pace. At the time of the early editions training was dogmatic, methods of treatment changed gradually, and there were few natural history studies or randomized trials to direct vascular care. you can download Handbook of Patient Care in Vascular Diseases 5th fifth Edition Book for free from the download link.

PLATELETS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Description ,review and table of contents of PLATELETS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE : Platelets, much more than a passive, circulating, anuclear cellular element, play a vital role in physiologic hemostasis by stemming blood loss and initiating tissue healing in response to vascular trauma.
Similar, yet biologically amplified processes place the platelet centrally in the natural history and phenotypic expression of atherothrombotic vascular disease. The following chapter summarizes the structural-functional characteristics of platelet biology and emphasizes the importance of cell-cell interactions, cellular surface events, intracellular protein signaling and fundamental biochemistry toward achieving safe, effective and targeted therapeutics.you can download PLATELETS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Book for free from the download link.

Vascular emergencies


Description ,review and table of contents of Vascular emergencies : Vascular emergency patients present with problems that require quick, and sometimes immediate evaluation and intervention to save life, limb, or a serious health injury.
Vascular surgeons on call have to make decisions, frequently at inconvenient hours, under circumstances of complex clinical scenarios, solitude, scarcity of hospital resources, unfamiliarity with patients, and constrained time. All these factors contribute to ethical conflicts.you can download Vascular emergencies Book for free from the download link.

Atrial Fibrillation From Bench to Bedside

Description ,review and table of contents of Atrial Fibrillation From Bench to Bedside : The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing worldwide, resulting in a cardiovascular “epidemic.” The rise in the prevalence of AF can be predominantly attributed to aging of the population and a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
The reasons for the increase in prevalence of AF has yet to be completely elucidated; age, gender, race, and cardiovascular disease have been shown to correlate with AF prevalence. It is estimated that AF affects 2.2 million individuals in the United States. However, the prevalence of AF may be underestimated because of a large number of asymptomatic individuals. It is projected that the aging of the population will result in 2.5-fold rise in the prevalence of AF by 2050.
When considering both the aging of the population and the prevalence of AF, preventive measures that reduce the incidence of AF will have substantial economic and societal benefits.you can download Atrial Fibrillation From Bench to Bedside Book for free from the download link.
