This issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics covers mapping of atrial tachycardias post-atrial fibrillation ablation. Expert authors review the most current information available about setting up the electrogram display, basic principles of conventional mapping, 3D mapping, and diagnosis of several tachycardias, including pulmonary vein tachycardia, macroreentrant atrial tachycardia, and atrial tachycardia. Keep up-to-the-minute with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving technology.
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.
Das Herz-Kreislauf-Zentrum Freiburg hat in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Thorax-, Herz- und Gefäßchirurgie (DGTHG) ein neues Weiterbildungskonzept für angehende Herzchirurgen entwickelt. Das alte Prinzip des Learning by Doing, bei dem hochsensible Operationstechniken direkt am Patienten erlernt werden, wird abgelöst durch eine Kombination aus theoretischen und praktischen Lerneinheiten, die die Assistenten in Weiterbildung Schritt für Schritt durch den Operationsalltag begleiten. Das vorliegende Manual, das exakt auf das Fachgebiet zugeschnitten ist, vermittelt die dafür notwendigen Kenntnisse, und das dazugehörige Logbuch ermöglicht die Prüfung der Lerninhalte ...
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 ...
This book aims to describe the role of interventional therapies in various forms of secondary hypertension and to explain the ability of such approaches to address unmet needs in the setting of uncontrolled essential hypertension. The coverage encompasses interventions in the full range of relevant conditions, including the various specific pathologies responsible for secondary hypertension, such as renal artery stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, and adrenal tumors. In each case, up-to-date information is presented on indications, procedural aspects, and patient follow-up. A further focus is the most recent knowledge on the use of invasive neuromodulation, such as renal sympathetic denervation and baroreflex stimulation. The text is supplemented by helpful explanatory diagrams and treatment algorithms. A comprehensive clinical guide of this nature has to date been absent from the literature. The book will be of interest to clinicians managing hypertensive patients, researchers investigating advanced hypertension management, and students on cardiovascular courses.
