Product Full Description
Quick Overview
The book contains over 3,000 multimedia images and dozens of videos, including all standard cardiovascular tests and imaging results such as 12-lead electrocardiography, electrophysiological studies and mapping, treadmill testing, 2D and Doppler echocardiography, peripheral ultrasound, cardiac SPECT, coronary angiography and IVUS, cardiac CT, coronary CT angiography, cardiovascular MRI and MRA, and PET CT, as well as novel and cutting-edge images such as strain and 3D echocardiography, 4D MRI, electroanatomic imaging, optical coherence tomography, and ECG isochrones mapping. Over one hundred and fifty national and international cardiovascular experts, representing almost every continent and part of the world, have contributed to the 8 sections and 58 chapters in the book. Hundreds of other investigators, academicians, and practitioners shared images that were used in this book. Color Atlas of Cardiovascular Disease covers the gamut of cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes, coronary revascularization, valvular and structural heart disease, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, cardiac tumors, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, stroke and cerebrovascular disease, renovascular disease, diseases of the aorta, and venous thromboembolism. Dozens of well established and emerging device-based therapies are illustrated and discussed, including PCI, CABG, ablation therapy, stent grafts, peripheral bypass, endarterectomy, arrhythmia ablation, septal closure devices, atrial appendage occluders, and TAVR. Both American and European practice guidelines for the management of specific cardiovascular diseases are summarized and discussed.
