The Second Edition of Primary Angioplasty provides an update on the rationale, techniques, and effectiveness of direct percutaneous mechanical revascularization for acute myocardial infarction. Through the use of "real world" methods, clinical perspectives, and mechanical support, this comprehensive resource guides interventional cardiologists and
Percutaneous interventions may be very demanding, challenging and complicated. Even in apparently simple cases, this is true. This superb handbook is the first to focus solely on complications during percutaneous cardiovascular interventions. Handbook of Complications during Percutaneous Coronary Interventions provides both the neophyte and the experienced interventional cardiologist with guidance on how to prevent and to treat complications in the cath lab. The editors and the excellent team of contributors ensure that the reader is provided with practically-oriented advice, as well as tips and tricks, many of which are not included in the classic textbooks.
Coronary stenting is the most commonly used method of myocardial revascularization, with approximately 2 million stents implanted in 2004 throughout the world. The development of drug eluting stents has resulted in very low rates of repeat intervention and will further increase the scope for percutaneous coronary intervention.The evidence from larg
Thoroughly updated for its Third Edition, this pocket-sized handbook provides easy access to clinical trial data that are crucial in therapeutic decision-making. The book enables clinicians to quickly review the studies that support or refute an intervention and choose the most appropriate, cost-effective treatment. Each chapter summarizes the pathophysiology of a disease and guideline-recommended diagnostic tests and treatments, and presents synopses of the major clinical trials for all therapies. New sections in this Third Edition cover peripheral artery disease and drug-eluting stents. This edition also features expanded coverage of pacers and ICDs and an expanded section on preventive pre-hospital cardiology.
This book, The Current Perspectives on Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, is an excellent update for health care professionals taking care of patients suffering from severe coronary artery disease. The nine chapters in this book were written by experts in their fields. The first section describes the hemodynamic mechanism and medical management of coronary artery disease. The second section describes the most recent evidence and controversial topics in the field of coronary artery bypass grafting. I believe this book will serve the interests of readers.
As a leading cause of death in developed countries, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and its various treatment options are of great concern to those in the cardiology field. This text presents evidence-based chapters that supply clinicians with real-life situations and strategies to treat STEMI patients more effectively and at a quicker p
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.
Thoroughly updated throughout for its Third Edition, the hook lets you review the most current clinical trials that support or refute an intervention and choose the most appropriate, cost-effective treatment. The latest American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines are also available to you at a glance. Each chapter summarizes the pathophysiology of a disease and guideline-recommended diagnostic tests and treatments, and presents synopses of the major clinical trials for all therapies. Highlights: -Clear, logical format presents the results of major randomized trials in six major topic areasùincluding the design, study population, treatment regimen, and results -I...
Con questo libro curato da Dario Collini, che raccoglie il lavoro di giovani ricercatori guidati da Anna Dolfi («GREM» «NGEM») che si sono occupati dei 17.000 pezzi epistolari del Fondo Macrì, si offre uno straordinario strumento di lavoro a chi si interessa di Ermetismo, di critica e poesia del Novecento italiano. Ombre dal fondo o ‘luci intermittenti’ che siano, i bagliori mandati dagli epistolari sono segni della genesi umana della cultura, visto che conservano traccia di quanto è legato al quotidiano che contribuisce alla costruzione della ‘grande’ storia e della progettualità; intellettuale e politica che l’accompagna. Ecco allora che letture, libri, riviste, collaborazioni, amicizie, risentimenti, viaggi, passioni letterarie e private emergono da questi regesti, a dare voce a un’epoca e ai suoi protagonisti.
Now in its fourth edition, this technical manual profiles commercially available stents and those that will soon be available. Presented in bullet form, each chapter provides an outline of the description, history, stent photograph, technical specifications, delivery system, indications for clinical use, new product developments, on-going or planned trials, angiographic and intravascular ultrasound image, and references. The appendices provide chapters about radiographic, IVUS appearances of the stents, adjunct pharmacological therapy, and stent coatings. Edited by, and with contributions from, leading experts, the manual provides an organized review of a variety of stents.
