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.
Coronary
artery atherosclerosis is the most common cardiac pathology, which is the
primary cause of cardiac mortality. Coronary artery stenosis usually involves
the proximal portion of the larger epicardial coronary arteries, but diffuse
coronary artery disease is also not rare. Topics covered includes: Regadenoson,
Noninvasive Imaging for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease, Non-Invasive
Imaging of Coronary Artery Disease, Optical Coherence Tomography for the
Assessment of Coronary Plaque Vulnerability, Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery,
Surgical Treatment in Diffuse Coronary Artery Disease, Mechanical Complications
of Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease, Obesity and
Heart Diseases, a Worsened Epidemic in Recent Decades, Prevention of Coronary
Artery Disease through Diet.
We know a lot
of things about cardiac rhythms and their abnormalities, but there are
some things that are still waiting to be discovered and, therefore,
require more study. In this book, the authors put a little light on
those matters, which are not well known yet. The authors have exposed
some of such cardiac arrhythmias, especially those affecting the atria
of the heart. Topics covered includes: Atrial Flutter- Diagnosis,
Management and Treatment, Recent Advances in the Noninvasive Study of
Atrial Conduction Defects Preceding Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical
Significance of Arrhythmogenic Foci in Atrial Fibrillation,
Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy, Review on Amiodarone as an
Antiarrhythmic Drug.
The need
for this guideline was identified as the NICE guidelines on chronic
heart failure were being updated. We recognized at this time that there
were important aspects of the diagnosis and management of acute heart
failure that were not being addressed by the chronic heart failure
guideline, which focussed on long term management rather than the
immediate care of someone who is acutely unwell as a result of heart
failure. The aim of this guideline is to provide guidance to the NHS on
the diagnosis and management of acute heart failure. Topics covered
includes: Diagnosis, assessment and monitoring, Initial pharmacological
treatment, Initial non-pharmacological treatment, Treatment after
stabilisation, Valvular surgery and percutaneous intervention,
Mechanical assist devices.

This
book offers the best practice advice on the care of adult patients (aged 18
years or older) who have symptoms or a diagnosis of chronic heart failure. It
defined the most effective combination of symptoms, signs and investigations
required to establish a diagnosis of heart failure, and those which would
influence therapy or provide important prognostic information.

The opening chapters are devoted to a
description of instrumental and graphic methods in the study and examination of
normal and abnormal rhythms and of normal and abnormal silhouettes. Subsequent
chapters are devoted to the purely clinical side of cardiology. Careful
consideration is given to the important subjects of the pathology, etiology,
diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of endocarditis, myocarditis, and
cardiosclerosis.
