The book comprises of 142 chapters grouped in 35 sections and exhaustively discusses the role of various imaging modalities in the context of specific diseases, and comparative roles for each modality. The role of echocardiography in the assessment of different types of cardiomyopathy, such as dilated, restrictive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac dyssynchrony, pericardial effusion, oncology, cardiac tamponade and pericardial constriction find good coverage in the book. Advances in echocardiographic assessment of all types of congenital heart disease, including neonatal heart failure are fully discussed.

CVD, or cardiovascular disease, is a general term that describes a disease of the heart or blood vessels. It is one of the most common causes of death.Statins are a group of medicines that can help lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol of often referred to as ‘bad cholesterol’, and statins reduce its production in the liver. Having a high level of LDL is potentially dangerous as it can lead to  hardening and narrowing of the arteries (NHS).Comprising nearly 1000 pages, this book is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances in statin therapy and its clinical application for cardiovascular disease.Divided into 29 sections, the text begins with clinical aspects of CVD, dyslipidemia (the imbalance of lipids such as cholesterol), and the use of statins for treatment.The next sections provide detailed discussion on the use of statins for different types of CVD, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and more.The following chapters cover statin use for other systemic diseases such as obesity, kidney disease, diabetes, ocular disorders, skin conditions and many more.The book concludes with an insight into future therapies, with emphasis on PCSK9 inhibitors, a new treatment for lowering cholesterol in the blood.

HFpEF, or Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction, is a type of heart failure where the heart's main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) becomes too stiff to fill properly with blood, even though it can still contract normally. This leads to symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, and swelling due to blood and fluid backing up in the lungs and body. HFpEF is often associated with other conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, and treatment focuses on managing these underlying factors and relieving symptoms.Based on the experience of more than 300 contributors, this book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of HFpEF, explaining advances in clinical approach, imaging including echocardiography, and multimodality imaging; and drug, mechanical and surgical interventions.Comprising 21 sections and169 chapters, as many as 28 chapters in this book deal with echocardiography and HFpEF. Assessment of HFpEF using echocardiographic techniques such as three-dimensional echocardiography and more recent advances such as speckle tracking of echocardiography for assessment of left ventricular, left atrial, right ventricular, and right atrial strain, are covered in depth.Discussion on echocardiographic ventricular and atrial remodeling reversal with various therapeutic agents, including sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), and bisoprolol, is included.Exercise-induced left atrial hypertension in HFpEF and the effect of various therapeutic agents on left atrial stiffness index, left atrial function, and other left ventricular diastolic parameters are also examined.

This comprehensive text is a compilation of more than 250 clinical cases and 800 video clips from echocardiographers and cardiologists all over the world.Divided into eleven sections, cases cover all functions of the heart and associated disorders and infections. Most cases are presented in a uniform format, detailing patient history, clinical findings, echocardiographic images and video clips, one or more multiple choice questions with answers, followed by general discussion on the topic.The majority of cases have an emphasis in echocardiography, with some drawing comparisons with other techniques, predominantly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomographic (CT) scans.Edited by internationally recognised expert Navin C Nanda from University of Alabama, this book features nearly 600 images and a DVD ROM providing echocardiographic video clips.Key PointsCompilation of more than 250 echocardiographic cases and 800 video clipsEach case presented in uniform format with multiple choice questions and answersEdited by internationally recognised expert form University of AlabamaIncludes nearly 600 images and a DVD ROM

Heart failure is a serious condition caused by the heart failing to pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure. It usually occurs because the heart muscle has become too weak or stiff to work properly, most commonly caused by heart attack, high blood pressure or cardiomyopathy (heart disease).This textbook is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of heart failure.Comprising nearly 1000 pages, the book features 15 sections, beginning with discussion on clinical issues of heart failure, followed by imaging techniques.Each of the following sections covers a different disorder or disease that subsequently may lead to heart failure. Topics include coronary artery disease, stroke, arrhythmia, hypertension, nutritional aspects, cardio-oncology, and much more.The book concludes with rehabilitation, legal aspects, and future directions.Authored by internationally recognised experts in the field, the text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.Key pointsComprehensive guide to latest advances in diagnosis and management of heart failureExtensive text comprising nearly 1000 pages covering numerous associated disorders and diseasesInternationally recognised editor and author teamHighly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables
