Cardiac Biomarkers describes the most recent developments in the field of biomarkers, providing best practice and current guidelines. It also discusses how these guidelines may alter in the future. With contributions from internationally-based clinicians and scientists, this book includes almost 100 detailed images and illustrations. Topics covered include: Markers of Cardiac Arrest, Markers of Cardiac Ischemia, Natriuretic Peptides for Heart Failure, Biomarkers in Cardio Renal Disease and Future Developments.
This series aims to highlight the latest clinical and experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in treating Heart Failure, from devices to surgical approaches. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science. The contributions to this collection will undergo peer review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of treatment for Heart Failure that explore device solutions or surgical approaches. Submissions will be handled ...
Although the majority of heart failure represents the exacerbation of chronic disease, about 20% will present as a first time diagnosis. And although there are a number of intravenous agents that can be used for acute decompensated heart failure, there are no national guidelines currently available. Edited by a well-known expert and his team of con
This volume presents a fresh international perspective on current approaches to treating heart failure. An accessible reference for hospital-based specialists, the book provides an update on recent advances in therapeutics and pharmacology, as well as ongoing trials. Four major sections concentrate on a review of screening, assessment and diagnosis; an update on drug treatments; an update on device therapy; and a description of best practice recommendations for managing clinically challenging cases
The main objective of Cardiac Remodeling: Molecular Mechanisms is to summarize the major research advances in molecular, biochemical and translational aspects of cardiac remodeling over the last 2 to 3 decades under one cover and touch on future directions. It provides a high profile and valuable publication resource on molecular mechanisms of cardiac remodeling for both the present and future generations of researchers, teachers, students and trainees. This book should stimulate future translational research targeted towards discovery and development for preventing, limiting and reversing bad remodeling over the next few decades, with the ultimate goal of preventing progression to systolic and/or diastolic heart failure. The chapters suggest potential novel strategies that should receive attention for translating basic research knowledge to application in patients at the bedside.
Cardiac Biomarkers in Clinical Practice was just honored with 4 Stars from Doody's Book Review! Cardiac Biomarkers in Clinical Practice presents a case based approach to biomarkers in heart diseases including heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and outpatient. Divided into six sections, this book provides physicians and other health care providers with a clear understanding of the role of biomarkers in clinical cardiovascular medicine.
Fluid overload is often observed in patients with heart failure and secondary oliguric states. A thorough assessment of the fluid status of the patient may help guide the therapy and prevent complications induced by inappropriate therapeutic strategies. The present publication is divided into four parts: Definition and Classification, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Therapy. In the first section, the authors present new definitions for heart failure, acute kidney injury and cardiorenal syndromes to facilitate the process of understanding the complex link between the heart and the kidney. Subsequently, different conditions leading to fluid overload are described, followed by an account of emerging diagnostic tools, therapies and technologies devoted to the treatment of patients with severe fluid-related disorders. Clearly structured and written, the present book is a practical tool for physicians and professionals involved in the management and care of patients with combined heart and kidney disorders. Moreover, it also serves as a reference textbook for medical students, residents and fellows dealing in everyday practice with fluid overloaded and oliguric patients.
Primary angioplasty is a life-saving, minimally invasive emergency procedure increasingly used in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. As the procedure further proves its effectiveness, it is imperative that all cardiologists have a comprehensive understanding of the major issues surrounding primary angioplasty. This easy-to-use, clinicall
This volume in Advances in Pharmacology focuses on all aspects of catecholamine research, from very basic to medical. It is broad based and covers many areas within physiology and medicine.
