This note explains the basic physiology and
pathophysiologic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in a straightforward and
diagrammatic manner, gives guidelines as to when referral is appropriate, and,
uniquely, explains what the specialist is likely to do. This facilitates an
understanding of the specialty not available from standard textbooks.
All chapters in this
book are related to the advances in cardiovascular risks. Chapters are useful
for clinicians, medical practitioners, researchers, teachers, and students.
Chapters include flow charts, diagrams, and tables for easy comprehension of
overall risks of cardiovascular disease.
This
textbook on Angiography and Endovascular Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease
provides a comprehensive angiographic approach to assess and determine optimal
treatment strategies for peripheral artery disease. Each chapter focuses on
angiography as it relates to the outcomes of endovascular work.
The aim of this study was to describe
rare but serious and sometimes fatal entities in patients with cardiothoracic
trauma sustained in two Scandinavian countries, and to determine the outcome.
