McQs for the European Exam in General Cardiology
Everything you need to know to pass the European Exam in Core Cardiology (EECC) is in this book. Based on the bestselling MCQs for Cardiology Knowledge Based Assessment this new resource has been fully updated and refreshed to reflect the ESC core curriculum for cardiology. It contains over 700 multiple choice questions with detailed explanations and links to related ESC guidelines for further reading. Providing a thorough assessment of the reader's knowledge, each chapter has been carefully mapped to the curriculum allowing for focused revision. Written by a team of cardiology registrars and experienced consultants, this resource has been cleverly designed to give you hands-on experience of the level and type of questions you can expect in the exam, as well as high-quality, concise answers possible under time constraints. Complete and comprehensive, MCQs for the European Exam in Core Cardiology is the ideal companion for cardiology trainees preparing to sit this high-stakes exam, as well as a valuable reference for practising cardiologists.
Essential Revision Notes for Cardiology KBA
The first revision text aimed specifically at the Knowledge-Based Assessment, Revision Notes for Cardiology exactly maps the core cardiology training curriculum to provide a clearly structured and easily accessible guide to this now-compulsory examination.
Pacemakers and ICDs
This specialist handbook is a practical, comprehensive, and concise training guide on how to implant, follow-up, and troubleshoot pacemakers and ICDs, fully updated with new technologies and the latest international guidelines.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography: A Practical Guide for Reporting and Interpretation is a step-by-step guide to clinical echocardiography. This new edition has been extensively revised and includes new international guidelines, grading criteria and normal data. The book presents an up-to-date discussion of echocardiography use in both acute and critical care setti
Controversies in Cardiology
This book will consider several clinical and interventional topics for which there is uncertainty, continued debate and/or no consensus based on current guidelines. While there are numerous guidelines in cardiology, new and on-going trials that address new drugs treatments and procedures raise many unanswered questions. Furthermore, most practicing cardiologist taking care of the patients are likely unable to digest all of these studies or guidelines and necessarily correctly apply them to their patients. If one considers in the guidelines the frequent use of Level C (consensus), there are many areas or situations where no trial exists. Also, when applying the results of a trial to an individual patient, there can be uncertainty of how this patient should be managed based on the present body of evidence.
Renal Denervation
Hypertension remains the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in spite of current medical therapies. It has been estimated that 50% of Western civilization has hypertension and approximately 20% of patients have resistant hypertension. Renal denervation (RDN) is a minimally invasive, endovascular catheter based procedure using radiofrequency ablation aimed at treating resistant hypertension. Early studies show a high degree of effectiveness in renal denervation to treat hypertension. This book examines renal pathophysiology and the rationale for renal denervation, as well as possible long term benefits and risks of this new therapy. The myriad of devices involved in the evolution of this therapy are discussed and the book concludes with analyses of the cost effectiveness and future applications.
The Musician's Hand
The Musician’s Hand – A Clinical Guide was the first book to focus on the specialised topic of the upper limb and hand in musicians: the conditions they suffer, the modified assessment and treatment they require and the importance of prevention. Since its publication in 1998, scientific and clinical progress has been made in all these areas. The second edition of The Musician’s Hand has been completely revised under the editorship of hand surgeon Ian Winspur to reflect this expansion in our knowledge. The book opens with introductory chapters describing the principles of hand and arm pain as it is experienced by musicians, and summarising the problems associated with playing various in...
Left Atrial Appendage Closure
Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is an emerging technology for thromboembolic prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The first human implantation of an LAA device occurred in 2001, and since then four devices have received CE mark approval. These devices are being widely used in Europe for LAA closure in patients who are poor candidates for long-term oral anticoagulation. In the US, the WATCHMAN device (Boston Scientific) is anticipated to receive FDA approval imminently for AF patients who are warfarin-eligible. This approval is projected to significantly expand the indications for LAA closures worldwide. Thus, the volume of procedures is anticipated to escala...
Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy
This book provides a comprehensive but concise overview of noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Information on congestive heart failure, thromboembolic events, (potentially lethal) arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death is presented. Topics covered include the use of modern imaging modalities, such as contrast echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging in relation to noncompaction cardiomyopathy treatment. Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy is a critical resource for all medical professionals managing these patients, including clinicians in cardiology, electrophysiology, clinical and molecular genetics, pediatrics, pathology, neurology and general practitioners.
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The significantly updated second edition of this important work provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), a rapidly evolving tool for diagnosis and intervention of cardiovascular disease. New and updated chapters focus on recent applications of CMR such as electrophysiological ablative treatment of arrhythmias, targeted molecular MRI, and T1 mapping methods. The book presents a state-of-the-art compilation of expert contributions to the field, each examining normal and pathologic anatomy of the cardiovascular system as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Functional techniques such as myocardial perfusion imaging and assessment o...
