The essential resource on cardiac hemodynamics—now in a new edition Hemodynamic Rounds, Fourth Edition is intended to help cardiologists, cardiovascular fellowship trainees, residents and other members of the medical community enhance their understanding of cardiac physiology and its associated hemodynamic presentations in health and disease. This includes the basic principles of flow and pressure measurements, systemic as well as coronary hemodynamics in normal and diseased states, and changes in hemodynamics following interventional procedures ranging from TAVI and valvuloplasty to stent placement. Like its popular predecessors, this new edition draws on case studies to illustrate charac...
This quick-access resource delivers a practical orientation for the cath lab. For nurses with a background in cardiac care or intensive care, the cath lab is replete with new challenges and learning opportunities. It is an increasingly complex environment with increasingly challenging procedures. Most effectively run by an interdisciplinary team, all healthcare providers in the cath lab uphold different roles to contribute to patient care and achieve successful procedural outcomes. Fast Facts for the Cath Lab Nurse clearly presents the role of the nurse in the cath lab and how to assist with basic and advanced cath lab procedures. Written in a simple, easy-to-read format with streamlined, bu...
Keep current with recent changes in the field and prepare for certification or recertification with SCAI Interventional Cardiology Review, Fourth Edition. Edited by Drs. Morton J. Kern and Arnold H. Seto, and written by global experts who are Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) members and leaders, coverage includes all topics on the interventional cardiology board exam and revised information throughout.
This book describes the fundamentals of three-dimensional (3D) printing, addresses the practical aspects of establishing a 3D printing service in a medical facility, and explains the enormous potential value of rendering images as 3D printed models capable of providing tactile feedback and tangible information on both anatomic and pathologic states. Individual chapters also focus on selected areas of applications for 3D printing, including musculoskeletal, craniomaxillofacial, cardiovascular, and neurosurgery applications. Challenges and opportunities related to training, materials and equipment, and guidelines are addressed, and the overall costs of a 3D printing lab and the balancing of these costs against clinical benefits are discussed. Radiologists, surgeons, and other physicians will find this book to be a rich source of information on the practicalities and expanding medical applications of 3D printing.
Containing detailed instructions on all aspects of heart catheterization and angiography, Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Intervention acts as a concise and invaluable guide for the cardiology trainee.
A guide to the techniques used in the care of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. The book gives step-by-step coverage of what to expect, what to avoid and what can go wrong. It includes a chapter on haemodynamic and ECG data, and a detailed review of equipment and laboratory techniques.
Intended to help cardiologists intensify their understanding of human hemodynamics through the use of brief case examples incorporating different hemodynamic tracings. Also considers the factors responsible for normal and abnormal waveforms. Organized into chapters that focus on specific areas of the heart, new insight can be gained into how such conditions as changing cardiac rhythm, unusual contractile events, and the placement of catheters can affect intracardiac blood pressure.
For portable, quick access to information needed at the point of care in today's cath lab, look no farther than Kern's Cardiac Catheterization Handbook, 7th Edition. This detailed, authoritative guide is ideal for cardiologists who need a quick clinical primer on cardiac catheterization, as well as for all members of the cardiac cath team. Highly readable and accessible, it helps you provide optimal patient care with reliable information on the latest diagnostic and treatment advances in this fast-paced field. - Provides clear instructions on what to expect, what to avoid, and how to manage complications for every procedure you'll encounter – including coverage of new techniques and techno...
