Manual of Cardiology is a comprehensive guide to cardiology for trainee cardiologists and practising clinicians.Covering the complete field, the book begins with cardiovascular pharmacology, diagnostic techniques and electrophysiology. The following sections examine the management of numerous cardiac disorders including coronary heart diseases, valvular heart diseases, vascular diseases, heart failure, myocardial and pericardial diseases, pulmonary vascular disease and adult congenital heart disease, and secondary heart disorders.The final sections discuss associated issues in clinical cardiology, preventative strategies for cardiovascular diseases, and evolving concepts. Modified guidelines for the management of common disorders such as angina, arrhythmias, and heart failure, have been included.Edited by internationally recognised expert Prof Kanu Chatterjee from the University of Iowa and the University of California, this invaluable manual includes more than 520 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.Key pointsComprehensive guide to complete field of cardiology for traineesIncludes modified guidelines for management of common cardiac disordersEdited by internationally recognised Prof Kanu ChatterjeeFeatures more than 520 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables

Manual of Electrophysiology is a comprehensive guide to cardiac electrophysiology, brought together by a team of US based experts in this field. The book focuses on current understanding and the most recent advances in electrophysiology.Consisting of 16 chapters, the book begins with basic understanding of the mechanisms of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), the pharmacology of antiarrhythmic drugs, and an introduction to electrophysiology studies. Various arrhythmias are discussed in detail, from tachycardia and bradycardia to cardiomyopathy and Brugada Syndrome.The latter part of the book provides a number of therapeutic guidelines for heart conditions, including surgical and catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac resynchronisation therapy and ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring.With 350 full colour images and illustrations enhancing practical advice on the diagnosis and therapy of cardiac diseases, Manual of Electrophysiology provides indispensable guidance for physicians, clinicians and cardiologists.Key PointsEssential guide to cardiac electrophysiology from a team of experts at the Universities of California and IowaDiscusses the most recent advances in the fieldProvides therapeutic guidelines for a number of heart conditions350 full colour images and illustrations

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the term that describes what happens when the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries (NHS Choices).This book presents the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of coronary heart disease. Beginning with discussion on the risk factors of CHD, emphasis is then placed on the importance of history and physical examination in the evaluation of a patient with chest pain.The following chapters examine the diagnosis and management of different variants of CHD, with a final section on surgical therapy. Written by internationally recognised specialists from the University of Iowa, this practical guide includes nearly 120 images and illustrations.Key pointsPractical guide to most recent advances in diagnosis and management of coronary heart disease (CHD)Emphasis on importance of history and physical examination in patient with chest painCovers different variants of CHDInternationally recognised author team from University of Iowa

This book presents the most recent advances in the field of cardiology, with emphasis on cardiovascular pathophysiology and new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques used for the management of patients with cardiovascular disease.Divided into ten sections, the book examines different aspects in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, including key advances in interventional cardiology, innovations in technology, and advances in pharmacotherapy. Implantable cardiac devices and atrial fibrillation are discussed in depth.Edited by internationally recognised Professor Kanu Chatterjee from the University of Iowa and the University of California San Francisco; and Professor Phillip A Horwitz from the University of Iowa, this comprehensive reference includes nearly 350 images and illustrations to enhance learning.Key pointsComprehensive guide presenting recent advances in cardiologyEmphasis on pathophysiology and new diagnostic and therapeutic techniquesIn depth coverage of implantable cardiac devices and atrial fibrillationEdited by internationally recognised US experts, Prof Kanu Chatterjee and Prof Phillip A Horwitz

This manual is a comprehensive guide to cardiac diagnostic techniques for clinicians. Beginning with the basics, the book highlights the importance of history taking and physical examination.The following sections provide in depth coverage of both new and more traditional diagnostic imaging techniques including electro- and echocardiogram, MRI, intravascular ultrasound, nuclear computerised tomography, and molecular imaging. Invasive diagnostic modalities and their clinical application are also discussed.Written by internationally recognised specialists from the University of Iowa, this practical guide includes more than 700 images and illustrations.Key pointsComprehensive guide to cardiac diagnosis for cliniciansCovers new and traditional imaging techniques for numerous cardiac disordersInternationally recognised author teamMore than 700 images and illustrations

Cardiac Drugs is the latest edition of this comprehensive resource, completely revised to provide up-to-date information on the rapidly evolving field of cardiovascular drugs.The book is divided into thirteen chapters, focusing on cardiovascular comorbid conditions, with extensive coverage of cardiovascular disease management in patients with co-existing diabetes, dysmetabolic syndrome and pregnancy. The first two chapters cover vasodilators and neurohormone modulators, and positive inotropic drugs, and subsequent chapters cover drugs for specific conditions including dyslipidemia, dysrhythmia, stable angina, and pulmonary hypertension.The final chapter ‘Future Direction – Pharmacogenomics’ provides insight into the exploration of the human genome for opportunities to improve therapeutic precision in cardiovascular medicine. This new edition of Cardiac Drugs also incorporates the latest JNC 8 (Joint National Committee) guidelines on hypertension, highlighting their key differences to previous guidelines.Enhanced by 80 full colour illustrations and tables, and written by US based experts in cardiovascular pharmacology, Cardiac Drugs is an invaluable resource for cardiologists and pharmacologists.Key PointsLatest edition of comprehensive guide to cardiovascular pharmacologyIncorporates JNC 8 guidelines on hypertension80 full colour illustrations and tablesWritten by US based experts in the field of cardiovascular pharmacologyPrevious edition (9789350258798) published 2012

Common Problems in Cardiology is a comprehensive guide to common cardiology disorders. Each disorder is described by its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, risks, treatment and management.The book is divided into 23 chapters, each covering a specific disorder, from chest pain and hypertension, to pericardial diseases and cardioembolic stroke. A complete differential diagnosis and analysis is provided with each symptom. Information on cardiovascular risk and non cardiac surgery, preoperative cardiac diagnostic testing, preoperative assessment of patients with valvular heart disease, and revascularisation prior to noncardiac surgery is also provided.Common Problems in Cardiology covers perioperative management of coronary stents, beta-blockade, statin use, pacemakers and anticoagulation management, as well as preoperative assessment of candidates for kidney and liver transplantation. Edited by Kanu Chatterjee, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Iowa and Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of California, this authoritative and comprehensive book is an ideal resource for postgraduates, interns, general physicians and practising cardiologists.Key PointsComprehensive guide to common cardiology disordersFormat clearly presents pathophysiology, presentation diagnosis, risks, treatment and managementFull colour illustrations, images and tables throughoutEdited by US based expert in the field of cardiology
