This book is oriented to readers
interested in learning the basic principles of interventional cardiology
and offers a brief insight into the potential use of such treatments in
routine clinical practice. Topics covered includes: Radial Access in
Primary PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction, Current Concept of
Revascularization in STEMI Patients with Multivessel Coronary Artery
Disease, Chronic Total Occlusions, Chronic Total Occlusion, Percutaneous
Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty, Percutaneous Treatment of Mitral and
Tricuspid Regurgitation in Heart Failure, Cardiogenic Shock,. Coronary
Computed Tomography Angiography.
This book covers the following topics: Natural State of Heart and Arteries
after 40, Causes of cardio-vascular disorder and disease, Physical Stress ,
Nervous Influences, Cardiac Poisons, Disturbances of Metabolism, Gout, Syphilis,
Acute specific fevers, Chronic affections, Complex causes, Old-standing
Rheumatic Lesions, Family heart.
This sequence provides a comprehensive introduction to diseases of
the cardiovascular system, how they present, how they are diagnosed, how they
are prevented, and how they are treated. Students learn to identify the integral
links between anatomy, physiology, pathology, and basic sciences with clinical
medicine and other essential aspects of patient care for ambulatory and
hospitalized patients who have cardiovascular disorders.
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.
