Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac Catheterisation

This second edition offers a broad and complete overview of interventional cardiology and provides a multiteam, broad overview of instrumentation, patient safety, and diagnostic and interventional procedures in the catheterization laboratory.It is an excellent resource for physicians and learners at all levels. It is a welcome addition to the literature in interventional and structural cardiology. Tamunoinemi D Bob-Manuel, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation)

John E. Boland is a Science graduate with a background in research and education and has participated as convenor, presenter or invited speaker at numerous local and international scientific and educational meetings. With a particular interest in instrumentation and technology, he has worked as Physiologist/Senior Hospital Scientist for over 30 years as part of the clinical team in the cardiac catheterisation laboratories at St. Vincents Hospital, Sydney, and has a conjoint appointment as Senior Lecturer with Central Queensland University. He is an associate member of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand and the New South Wales Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology Nurses Group. David W. M. Muller is director, Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories at St. Vincents Hospital, Sydney, and St Vincents Private Hospital, and is associate professor of medicine at the University of NSW. His major interests include optimising the outcomes of complex coronary and peripheral vascular interventions, and the percutaneous management of structural heart disease. He is Principal Investigator for numerous international clinical trials including several first-in-man trials of new devices. He has authored or co-authored multiple peer-reviewed papers, book chapters and abstracts, and has served as an editorial consultant to all the major cardiology journals.
