Current Developments in Atherosclerosis Research
Atherosclerosis is a degenerative condition in which arteries build up deposits called plaques (atheromas) which consist of lipids (mainly cholesterol), connective tissue and smooth muscle cells originating from the arterial wall. Plaques develop quietly over a period of years and are unnoticeable until there is an interruption in the normal flow of blood. Plaques may partially or totally block the blood's flow through an artery. Two things that can happen where plaques occur are: bleeding (haemorrhage) into the plaque; and formation of a blood clot (thrombus) on the plaque's surface. Atherosclerosis affects large and medium-sized arteries. The type of artery and where the plaque develops varies with each person. Atherosclerosis research has witnessed startling progress in recent years, partially due to new drugs as well as to new breakthroughs in molecular medicine.
Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis
Despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic atherosclerosis, available traditional screening methods for early detection and treatment of asymptomatic coronary artery disease are grossly insufficient and fail to identify the majority of victims prior to the onset of a life-threatening event. In Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis: Pathophysiology, Detection and Treatment, Dr. Morteza Naghavi and leading authorities from the Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE) present a new paradigm for the screening and primary prevention of asymptomatic atherosclerosis. The text focuses on accurate, yet underutilized, measures of subclinical atherosclerosis, notabl...
Ischemic Heart Disease
This straightforward guide to the recognition and management of ischemic heart disease provides clinically relevant information needed by today's medical practitioners. The book covers the disease's epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Topics include detection of myoc
Multimodality Imaging for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
This book is ideal for cardiovascular imagers of all backgrounds as well as proceduralists (surgeons and interventional cardiologists) performing TAVR. This text is also of value for the physicians and nurses involved in the care of these patients, and for fellows-in-training. This practical text brings together guidance on using multi-modality imaging in one book and highlights its usage with a focus on patient care. Pre-procedural, Intra-procedural and Long-term follow up), this review offers expert opinion and evidence-based guidance on how to incorporate the various imaging modalities at each step in the care of a TAVR patient. Although much has been learned in the short span of time since TAVR was introduced into the field, our book will also offer recommendations for clinically-relevant research areas that will lead to best practice strategies for incorporating multi-modality imaging into TAVR patient care.
Textbook of Interventional Cardiology
Interventional Cardiology is an extensive, richly illustrated guide to this field of medicine. The book is edited by internationally recognised experts, led by Professor Samir Kapadia. This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of interventional cardiology, across five sections, further divided into 88 chapters. The first section covers the evolution periprocedural pharmacology, beginning with chapters on the history of coronary intervention and concluding with clinical cases. The second section covers specific coronary interventions, taking either a disease-based or an anatomical approach. The chapters also provide information on individual patient groups, such as the elderly ...
Percutaneous Treatment of Left Side Cardiac Valves
After the success of the first two editions, this expanded and extensively revised edition provides the interventional cardiologist with detailed, state of the art information on key techniques and approaches to percutaneous treatment of left side cardiac valve disease, keeping pace with the rapid and dynamic evolution in the discipline. Many new techniques and resources are now available, including new devices for transcatheter aortic valve implantation and new approaches to transcatheter mitral valve replacement. Numerous images will help the reader to understand the steps of each procedure and the characteristics of the different devices available. The potential complications and expected...
Surgical Management of Aortic Pathology
This book follows the concept of perceiving the entire aorta as one functional organ assuming that all individual pathologies and local interventional procedures affect the up- and downstream segments with consequences for complications and disease progression. Thus any preventive or surgical strategy must recognize the aortic disease in its entirety. The book intends to cover the full spectrum of aortic pathologies, mechanisms and functional interplay. The latest available diagnostic tools and options for surgical treatment are presented by the foremost experts in their field in state-of-the-art reviews. The reader is provided with the most current and comprehensive insight into all fundamental and clinical aspects of aortic disease. All chapters are carefully complemented with figures and illustrations.
Multi-Detector CT Imaging
Developments in CT technology during the last 20 years have impressively improved its diagnostic potentialities. Part of a two-volume set that covers all aspects of CT imaging, Multi-Detector CT Imaging: Principles, Head, Neck, and Vascular Systems contains easily searchable clinical specialty chapters that provide specific information without need
CT of the Heart
This book is a comprehensive and richly-illustrated guide to cardiac CT, its current state, applications, and future directions. While the first edition of this text focused on what was then a novel instrument looking for application, this edition comes at a time where a wealth of guideline-driven, robust, and beneficial clinical applications have evolved that are enabled by an enormous and ever growing field of technology. Accordingly, the focus of the text has shifted from a technology-centric to a more patient-centric appraisal. While the specifications and capabilities of the CT system itself remain front and center as the basis for diagnostic success, much of the benefit derived from ca...
Blood Cell
The editor has incorporated scientific contributions from a diverse group of leading researchers in the field of hematology and related blood cell research. This book aims to provide an overview of current knowledge pertaining to our understanding of hematology. The main subject areas will include blood cell morphology and function, the pathophysiology and genetics of hematological disorders and malignancies, blood testing and typing, and the processes governing hematopoiesis. Blood cell physiology, biochemistry and blood flow are covered in this book. This text is designed for hematologists, pathologists and laboratory staff in training and in practice. The work presented in this book will be of benefit to medical students and to researchers of hematology and blood flow in the microcirculation.This book is written primarily for those who have some knowledge of chemistry, biochemistry and general hematology. The authors of each section bring a strong clinical emphasis to the book.
