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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
is ranked as the leading cause of death world wide, responsible for 17.1
million deaths globally each year. This text reviews the epidemiology,
development, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of ischemic heart
disease.
This note
provides you with information on how a specific mind-body therapy, meditation,
may be used for treatment and/or prevention of hypertension. Topics covered
includes: Contraindications, Determining the Most Appropriate Recommendation,
Forms of Meditation, specific mind-body therapy, Introduction to the Patient

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.
This book covers all aspects
and the most vibrant topics of ischemic stroke research: from basic sciences to
latest methods of clinical applications. The authors give an overview of what
has importance today in stroke research and also strike future ideas.
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.
This book will bring out the state of art of carotid stenosis in the
basic and clinical approaches for better understanding of the mechanisms and
useful therapies for these disease. Topics covered includes: Evaluation and
Treatment of Carotid Artery Stenosis, Tissue Characterization of Carotid
Plaques, Carotid Artery, Carotid Plaque Morphology, Cerebral Protection in
Carotid Angioplasty and Management of Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Stenosis.
