This highly practical diagnostic tool is an indispensable resource for both the office and the noninvasive cardiovascular laboratory. The accompanying CD contains images and video-clips displaying the dynamic aspects of vascular pathology to aid diagnosis and learning. Each image can be enlarged to enable the user to fully discern the main features, and for ease, the CD can be searched by image type, condition/disease or techniques.
Patients with vascular disease offer great challenges to physicians of multiple backgrounds. The rapid improvement in multimodal imaging and the growth of endovascular strategies for treatment of peripheral vascular disease have resulted in an explosion in interest in these patients. But patients and physicians often misdiagnose vascular disease as normal signs of aging, resulting in presentation to specialists at the end stage of the disease process. This textbook, edited by two recognized experts in the field, is designed to offer unique and comprehensive information on the diagnostic approach to and state-of-the-art treatment of arterial and venous diseases. This multispecialty textboo...
Provides a resource for health care professionals who evaluate and manage patients with hypertension. Topics include hypertension in adolescents, treatment of hypertension in athletes, hypertension and weight loss, salt and dietary change to control blood pressure, and more.
This comprehensive clinical reference describes the full range of endovascular interventions currently used for peripheral vascular problems. The first section provides essential information on peripheral vascular diseases, including etiology, clinical and laboratory evaluation, and imaging before performing a procedure. The second section explains the physics, techniques, and clinical uses of all vascular imaging modalities. The major portion of the book covers specific arterial and venous interventions for each anatomic region. These chapters address clinical issues, indications, patient selection, procedural and technical considerations, results, and post-procedural management, and discuss available devices and pharmaceuticals. More than 1,100 illustrations complement the text.
Increasing evidence suggests that particularly in high-risk patients, endovascular solutions offer substantial advantages compared to vascular surgical procedures. Nevertheless, growing numbers of procedures are associated with an increased incidence of complications. Knowledge of specific complications in different vessel areas will support the interventionist in preventing such adverse events and if necessary, provide considerable reassurance if such complications need to be resolved. In Complications in Peripheral Vascular Interventions, typical and atypical complications are described for all peripheral vessel areas, and methods for how to handle these events are outlined. The book is di...
Comprehensive Review in Vascular and Endovascular Medicine provides a primer for clinicians care for patients with vascular disease and incorporates the latest information on medical, endovascular, and surgical therapies.
Knowledge and understanding of vascular disease, particularly atherosclerosis, continue to expand across disciplines, as do diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for treatment of vascular disorders. This manual offers a consistent "how to" approach that places specific emphasis on management. Each chapter provides the reader with a highly practical approach so that he or she comes away with a reasonable amount of familiarity as to be able to manage the patient independently. Since the first edition, a certification in vascular medicine has become available. Some of the key features include: • Practical information such as drug doses, protocols for managing disorders, and algorithms; • Guidance on diagnostic assessment and treatment strategies for the majority of vascular disorders encountered in clinical practice; • Assimilation of information from areas outside cardiology, i.e., vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists, into a reader-friendly format geared toward the average practicing internist or cardiologist.
The field of interventional cardiology and interventional vascular medicine now comprises the dominant diagnostic and therapeutic field within cardiovascular medicine, and continues to grow in terms of patients managed and physicians trained. The Textbook of Cardiovascular Intervention is intended to provide a modern, comprehensive and practical text on interventional cardiology for the current, rapidly evolving practice environment. It is written by a group of worldwide experts in the field and will appeal to fellows, residents and physicians in cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, vascular and endovascular medicine, neurointerventional radiology and surgery, emergency medicine and intensive care.
Few references have been published on the renal vascular system and its effect on the cardiovascular system as a whole. Clearly the kidney exerts a huge influence on the circulation and hypertension in particular, but there is a growing concentration on its function across many diseases. This book details the diagnosis, treatment and management of all renal vascular disease.
