Bøger i Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine serien

Intracoronary ultrasound is a imaging modality and the published studies indicates that the technique is safe and provides diagnostic information than coronary angiography. This monograph presents the developments in this field.

Written by the leaders in the field, this volume provides a practical and comprehensive overview of the electrocardiogram (ECG). It evaluates the patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia. It is a useful reference for cardiac electrophysiologists, cardiologists, internists or emergency room physicians.

Cardiac surgery is performed on hundreds of thousands of patients a year, and can have an important beneficial impact on the outcomes of patients with coronary and valvular heart diseases.

Presents the topic of homocysteine from the basic biochemical, metabolic, genetic, and dietary determinants to disease relationships, including concepts of pathogenesis.

Offers a portrait of how the heart works and in this picture the author shows a close-up of the structural, biochemical, and physiological links between excitation and contraction. This book describes a general scheme of calcium regulation and discusses the possible sources and sinks of calcium.

Coronary pressure measurement has emerged as a major step forward in the invasive assessment of coronary artery disease. In this text, the theoretical and physiological background of this approach is systematically reviewed and clinical applications are illustrated.

Stress Echocardiography - Its Role in the Diagnosis and Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease - Second Edition by Thomas Marwick is a concise, practical guide for anyone new to the field of stress echocardiography or an excellent summary of the existing evidence base for the experienced user.

Chapters 14, 15 and 16 address applications of Doppler echocardiography during the stresses of brief coronary occlusion, myocar dial infarction and post infarction recovery, while chapters 17 and 20 illustrate applications of stress Doppler techniques in valvular heart disease.

Cardiovascular diseases are the most important causes of death in the world today. It has been demonstrated that physical exercise or sports at any age provide notable benefits and can help to decrease other risk factors and reduce the incidence of cardio vascular diseases.

As the life expectancy of patients with arterial hypertension increases, hypertension in the elderly is becoming a relevant medical and social problem.

This text deals with current topics in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, arrhythmias and pacing, with special emphasis on techniques for diagnosis and treatment. It is based on lectures given at the Europace '97 Congress.

This state-of the-art publication is a result of the combined efforts of participants from the International Registry of Aortic Dissection (IRAD). Each chapter provides a succinct overview of the current clinical literature and incorporates illustrations for further explanation.

Since our understanding of the pathobiology of cardiovascular injury requires integrating knowledge from both basic and clinical sciences, the information presented in this volume extends from fundamental biochemical processes to pharmacological agents required to treat complex cardiac arrhythmias.

Our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction has grown enormously in recent years.

Cardiovascular diseases are the most important causes of death in the world today. It has been demonstrated that physical exercise or sports at any age provide notable benefits and can help to decrease other risk factors and reduce the incidence of cardio vascular diseases.

Improving our insights into the genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease is one of the most important challenges in our field in the next millennium, not only to unravel the cause of disease but also to improve the selection of patients for particular treatments.
