Coronary Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Andre J. Duerinckx , Arthur E. Stillman
editore: Springer Verlag New York Inc.
pagine: 357
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the clinical applications of coronary angiography techniques. Coronary MRA can be instrumental in the evaluation of congenital coronary artery anomalies, however, the complexity of advanced MR pulse sequences and strategies may be overwhelming to many. Coronary MR Angiography demystifies the art of coronary MRA by providing a text in plain language with clearly illustrated imaging steps and protocols. Designed to bridge the gap between radiology and cardiology, it is written for physicians and scientists planning to incorporate this technique into their research or practice.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac and Vascular Surgery Techniques
Fiona Clements , Jack Shanewise
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 148
ardiac surgeons are rethinking all their traditional techniques--avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass when feasible, attempting to reduce incision size, and thereby reduce the trauma inflicted on the patient. The technology involved in performing minimally invasive surgery concerns not only instrumentation but also anesthetic management, for example, the use of transesophageal echocardiography and radiological interventions in the operating suite for the stenting of the aorta. This latest volume in the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Monograph series addresses the anesthesiologist's changing role in dealing with patients undergoing these newer, unconventional surgical operations.
ECG at a Glance

Highly Commended in the Cardiology category at the British Medical Association Book Awards 2009 This brand new title in the popular at a Glance seriescombines the science behind ECGs with how to use them to guide diagnosis and treatment. These key skills are fundamental for examination of the cardiovascular system and all medical students and specialist nurses are expected to be proficient at ECG interpretation. The at a Glance approach provides a large number of clear diagrams and example ECGs alongside concise text, putting the ECGs into a clinical context, all in easy-to-absorb double-page sections.
Critical Pathways in Cardiology
Christopher P. Cannon , Patrick T. O'Gara
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 272
Critical pathways answer the need for delivering cost-effective medical care while maintaining the quality of patient care. This volume focuses on critical pathways in cardiology. The book begins with an overview of how to implement the pathways, their goals, rationale, and shortcomings. Most of the text is devoted to practical information including numerous tables, checklists, algorithms, and examples of pathways, making this volume quick and easy to use for cardiologists, internists, and other healthcare professionals involved in cardiac patient care. Clinical trials are also discussed to provide the evidence-based reasoning for the pathways. This is a Brandon-Hill recommended title.

Evidence Based Coronary Care
Mark Connaughton
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 216
All junior doctors and in particular trainee cardiologists will at some point in their training be involved in managing acute coronary syndromes and other cardiac emergencies. This handbook sets out the recognized clinical steps to take and backs them up with an analysis of the evidence supporting these decisions. "Evidence-Based Coronary Care" will provide junior doctors with the answers they seek when dealing with difficult clinical situations. Evidence-Based medicine is still very topical, and this book will adopt a similar style to James: Evidence-Based Obstetrics in setting out the clinical management plan on the verso page and the evidence supporting that plan on the recto page.
Noninvasive Electrocardiology in Clinical Practice
Emanuela H. Locati
,
Pierre Masison-Blanche
e altri
editore: Blackwell Futura
pagine: 488
Computerized ECG exams are currently flourishing, and further development of these inexpensive and noninvasive diagnostic tools is expected in upcoming years. Because there is so much clinically relevant and useful information that can be obtained using modern electrocardiology, the editors strongly believe that a book summarizing current state-of-the-art methods of noninvasive electrocardiology will assist physicians in optimizing their clinical practice. Accordingly, the contributors comprise an international "who's who" in noninvasive electrocardiography. The object of noninvasive electrophysiology is to reconcile comprehensive invasive electrophysiology with conventional surface electrocardiography, by extracting from the latter more extensive and dynamic information. Numerous facets of these new orientations are presented in this book, which is organized in two main sections. Part one describes noninvasive ECG tests, their methodology, and applications. Part two focuses on specific clinical conditions and diseases, and allows the reader to learn when it is worth using specific tests and when they are not of much benefit.
Clinical cardiologists and electrophysiologists at all levels will benefit from this well-written, informative update.
Cardiac Disease in the Elderly

editore: Steinkopff Darmstadt
pagine: 110
CARLO CONTI You are today confronting sensitive questions on the subject of "Cardiac surgery and heart diseases in old age" and I congratulate you on this. It is a brave and important step to discuss this multifaceted question which demands an answer and an explanation from many perspectives: From a medical perspective, there is the question of the medical feasibility and durability of treatment. From an economic angle we ask ourselves whether we can pay for everything that is medically feasible. From the patient's perspective there is the legitimate de- sire and the justified need not to leave anything untried that might serve to sustain or improve the quality of life. The ethical perspective: is what is feasible really desirable? Should everything be done simply because it can be done? Is it ethically acceptable to set an age limit on an opera- tion that in all probability will produce an improvement in the quality of life? And if so, where does this limit lie? Below it surgery is "worthwhile" but above it is not? No- one in all seriousness and with a clean conscience will want to draw this line randomly or arbitrarily. That ap- pears to us - quite rightly - morally unacceptable.
The doctors' perspective: they are obliged by the Hippo- cratic oath in principle to carry out all the treatments that are indicated and comply with the rules of the art of med- ICIne.
Pocket Guide to ECG Diagnosis
Edward K. Chung
editore: Blackwell Science Ltd
pagine: 528
Following the highly successful model of the first edition, "Pocket Guide to ECG Diagnosis, 2e" describes every known common ECG abnormality and cardiac arrhythmia with a practical and clinical approach. On the left page of the book, each abnormality is described precisely and concisely, including definition, diagnostic criteria, and diagnostic pearls. On the right page, a crystal clear reproduction of a given ECG abnormality is shown. This at-a-glance format makes this Pocket Guide effective for quick interpretation of ECGs. Dr. Ching has updated and revised the entire book and included over 20 new ECGs in this edition.
