Clinical Echocardiography and Other Imaging Techniques in Cardiomyopathies
This book describes the role of basic and advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis of different types of cardiomyopathy, including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and infiltrative/storage cardiomyopathies. While the main focus is on echocardiography, the applications of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are also described. Throughout, a clinically oriented approach is employed: detailed attention is paid to differential diagnosis and numerous high-quality images depict the main features of the various types of cardiomyopathy. Consideration is also given to the genetics of cardiomyopathies, with analysis of genotype-phenotype relationships. Finally, the potential value of imaging in prognostic assessment and in guiding treatment is described.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
This open access book presents a comprehensive overview of dilated cardiomyopathy, providing readers with practical guidelines for its clinical management. The first part of the book analyzes in detail the disease’s pathophysiology, its diagnostic work up as well as the prognostic stratification, and illustrates the role of genetics and gene-environment interaction. The second part presents current and future treatment options, highlighting the importance of long-term and individualized treatments and follow-up. Furthermore, it discusses open issues, such as the apparent healing phenomenon, the early prognosis of arrhythmic events or the use of genetic testing in clinical practice. Offering a multidisciplinary approach for optimizing the clinical management of DCM, this book is an invaluable aid not only for the clinical cardiologists, but for all physicians involved in the care of this challenging disease.
AHA Scientific Sessions 2019 - Final Program
The American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2019 is bringing big science, big technology, and big networking opportunities to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania this November. This event features five days of the best in science and cardiovascular clinical practice covering all aspects of basic, clinical, population and translational content.
Genetic Cardiomyopathies
In the last decade, genetics has been emerging as a primary issue in the diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathies. This book is intended to be a state-of-the-art monograph on these diseases, describing their genetic causes, defining the molecular basis and presenting extensive descriptions of genotype–phenotype correlations. Other chapters are focused on the role of clinical observation, on ECG and echocardiography. With its highlight on the most recent discoveries in the field of molecular genetics as well as on the correct clinical approach to patients with heart muscle disease, the book is aimed at physicians and clinical cardiologists with a particular interest in myocardial diseases and in their genetic causes.
The EACVI Textbook of Echocardiography
Now with new imaging tools and more illustrative cases, this extensively updated second edition of the successful EAE Textbook of Echocardiography is a valuable resource to support not only those with an interest in echocardiography but also those seeking the information needed for accreditation and training through the EACVI.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart muscle disease characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of either pressure or volume overload or coronary artery disease sufficient enough to explain the dysfunction. DCM is currently a relatively benign disease, with concrete treatment strategies and solid therapeutic regimens. However, clinical management of DCM patients is still one of the most challenging scenarios even for tertiary referral centers. DCM patients are usually young (between their 30s and 50s), still of working age with usually a solid economic and social background. Several pitfalls may be present during diagnostic workup an...

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/dysplasia
Hardbound. In this book a complete overview of current knowledge is presented, running from pathology to recent progress in molecular biology and with special reference to diagnostic procedures and pharmacologic-non pharmacologic therapies. Incidence and natural history of the disease are addressed as well, stressing the occurrence of sudden death.The book, the first on the topic, is an updated survey on ARVC/D and includes 38 chapters with a worldwide authorship as a result of an international cooperative study.
