This includes sections on dealing with common out-patient consultations, common interspecialty referrals, cardiological problems on the cardiac surgery unit, acute cardiological emergencies, and terminal care in cardiology. Also, as cardiology is a specialty with a high technical content, sections are included that provide the core information relating to the common technical subspecialties - echocardiography, cardiac catheterisation and catheter intervention, pacing and electrophysiology. Finally, a technical data section provides details of normal values for cardiac catheterisation, echocardiography and electrocardiography.

"The Encyclopedia of Heart Diseases" is an accurate and reliable source of in-depth information on the diseases that kill more than 12 million individuals worldwide each year. In fact, cardiovascular diseases are more prevalent than the combined incidence of all forms of cancer, diabetes, asthma and leukemia.

Researchers, clinicians, and students alike will all find this resource an invaluable tool for quick reference before approaching the primary literature. It offers coverage of more than 200 topics, including: applied pharmacology of current and experimental cardiac drugs, gene therapy, MRI, electron-beam CT, PET scan put in perspective, cardiac tests costs and justification, and new frontiers in cardiovascular research; and more than 150 helpful figures and illustrations! Dr. Khan is a well-published and respected expert in heart and heart diseases.

This authoritative, practical, and user-friendly presentation helps the non-specialist meet the health care system's evolving need for the management of heart disease by primary care providers. Useful diagrams, flow charts, and algorithms guide the diagnosis, treatment of presenting complaints, and established conditions typical to primary care. This new edition has been completely updated, with special attention paid to the inclusion of evidence-based summaries.

"Hurst. Il Cuore", il primo testo multidisciplinare completo sulle patologie cardiovascolari, è da oltre 40 anni un punto di riferimento della moderna cardiologia. Per la prima volta a quattro colori, la dodicesima edizione dell'Hurst, presenta una ricca e rinnovata iconografia. Tutti i capitoli sono stati aggiornati, quando non completamente riscritti, per accogliere gli ultimi studi in ambito cardiologico. Il board degli autori è stato internazionalizzato grazie all'inclusione di molti medici europei, con la conseguenza di una collaborazione fra esperti di varie istituzioni e vari paesi che garantisce una prospettiva globale sul trattamento delle malattie cardiologiche. La sezione sull'ipertensione è stata oggetto di una particolare attenzione, con la suddivisione del singolo capitolo della precedente edizione in tre più specialistici, incentrati rispettivamente su epidemiologia, aspetti fisiopatologici e diagnosi e trattamento. Nell'edizione italiana a questa sezione è stata aggiunta un'appendice con le Linee Guida ESH/ESC 2007 per il trattamento dell'ipertensione. I numerosi aggiornamenti hanno mantenuto e accresciuto negli anni l'attualità formativa del trattato, che rappresenta oggi un'eccellente fonte di pronto aggiornamento, pur in un'area di così rapida evoluzione come la scienza medica e quella cardiologica in particolare.

The expanded guide to cardiac mapping The effective diagnosis and treatment of heart disease may vitally depend upon accurate and detailed cardiac mapping. However, in an era of rapid technological advancement, medical professionals can encounter difficulties maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of current methods. This fifth edition of the much-admired Cardiac Mapping is, therefore, essential, offering a level of cutting-edge insight that is unmatched in its scope and depth. Featuring contributions from a global team of electrophysiologists, the book builds upon previous editions' comprehensive explanations of the mapping, imaging, and ablation of the heart. Nearly 100 chapters provide fascinating accounts of topics ranging from the mapping of supraventricular and ventriculararrhythmias, to compelling extrapolations of how the field might develop in the years to come. In this text, readers will find: Full coverage of all aspects of cardiac mapping, and imaging Explorations of mapping in experimental models of arrhythmias Examples of new catheter-based techniques Access to a companion website featuring additional content and illustrative video clips Cardiac Mapping is an indispensable resource for scientists, clinical electrophysiologists, cardiologists, and all physicians who care for patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
