The Third Edition of this highly acclaimed text lives up to the goal of its predecessors--to be the most complete cardiac catheterization text available. Six entirely new chapters cover issues in catheterization laboratory quality management; intracoronary ultrasound; coronary angioscopy; introduction to coronary artery stenting; results using coronary stents, and anticoagulation and antiplatelet regimens during and following coronary interventions. The other chapters are substantially updated and revised, with new information on revised training and maintenance guidelines; revised quality assurance guidelines; and new interventional techniques, Doppler flow wire data; results of the latest relevant clinical trials; complex lesions; vein grafts, lasers, aspiration thrombectomy; graph arteriopathy, and stented grafts for dissection of the descending aorta. Recommended in the Brandon/Hill list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 2001
Today hundreds of thousands of Americans carry pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) within their bodies. These battery-powered machines—small computers, in fact—deliver electricity to the heart to correct dangerous disorders of the heartbeat. But few doctors, patients, or scholars know the history of these devices or how "heart-rhythm management" evolved into a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing and service industry. Machines in Our Hearts tells the story of these two implantable medical devices. Kirk Jeffrey, a historian of science and technology, traces the development of knowledge about the human heartbeat and follows surgeons, cardiologists, and engineers as ...
Written by leading authorities in the field, Chest Pain with Normal Coronary Arteries comprehensively reviews the clinical presentation and the pathogenesis of the condition, as well as its management. This book provides a practical tool for the clinician and a bank of information and new ideas for research scientists and clinical researchers interested in understanding the causes and mechanisms of chest pain with normal coronary arteries. Whether the pain be of gastroenterologic, cardiac or endocrine in origin, the book focuses on effective diagnosis, treatment and management of different pathologies in patients. Chest Pain with Normal Coronary Arteries is an essential read for all clinicians involved in managing patients with chest pain, and those that should be aware of non-cardiac chest pain.
Although some investigators have questioned the importance and even the existence of silent myocardial ischemia, documentation presented at this two day symposium leaves little doubt about its existence and importance. It has been estimated that about 3 million of the estimated 4 million angina sufferers in the United states have frequent episodes of silent myocardial ischemia. Although it is not possible to define how many Americans die due to silent ischemia, it has been suggested that the mortality rate may exceed hundreds of thousands of victims annually. Unfortunately, there still remains a lack of definitive information as to why some ischemic events are painless. Some suggest the conc...
The development of new pharmaceutical products and behavioral interventions aimed at improving people's health, as well as research that assesses the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of public policies, such as policies designed to improve children's education or reduce poverty, depends on research conducted with human participants. It is imperative that research with human subjects is conducted in accordance with sound ethical principles and regulatory requirements. Featuring 45 original essays by leading research ethicists, The Oxford Handbook of Research Ethics offers a critical overview of the ethics of human subjects research within multiple disciplines and fields, including biomedicine, public health, psychiatry, sociology, political science, and public policy.
The Pathophysiology and Pharmacotherapy of Myocardial Infarction deals with the advances in the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of acute myocardial infarction and related complications. This book covers two major consequences—cardiac muscle dysfunction and cardiac electrical dysfunction. This text begins by reviewing the controversy surrounding the pathogenetic mechanisms of atheroma formation and its potential reversibility, including the status of coronary risk factors and benefits of primary prevention. The pathophysiologic mechanisms of pump failure and the current approach to its management are then deliberated, followed by a discussion on the rational use of vasodilators in post-infarction heart failure and pharmacotherapy of cardiogenic shock. The rationale for the interest in the role of coronary vasospasm and thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction is also covered. This publication concludes by reviewing the approaches for the management of post-infarction ventricular tachyarrhythmias and concept of secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death. This compilation is valuable to medical students, primary care physicians, and cardiovascular specialists.
