Interventional Cardiology

Beschreibung

The specialty of interventional cardiology has been expanding in every direction at an unprecedented pace over the past five years. Patients are being treated with interventional, percutaneous, and minimally invasive methods by specialists from other areas of medicine and surgery, which adds to the overall growth and technological advancement of cardiovascular interventions and of those providing patient care. Accordingly, Interventional Cardiology: Principles and Practice has been revised extensively to reflect this new landscape, include current data, and introduce the emerging subspecialties in this second edition. Ideal for cardiologists and related specialists ahead of an initial certification examination, those in advanced clinical practice who need practical instruction for a certain specialized subject, as well as those who have been practicing for a long time and need to refresh their knowledge --with or without a recertification examination ahead of them-- this edition brings you: * Internationally recognized authorities provide clear and current updates on all aspects of interventional cardiology * Contains a radically expanded chapter contents list presented in four clear sections; coronary interventions, interventional pharmacology, structural heart interventions, and endovascular therapy * Includes 46 new chapters, including the latest advances in bioresorbable coronary stents, advanced transcatheter aortic valve replacement, MitraClip, new transcatheter mitral valve interventions, and more * Chapters are templated for rapid referral, beginning with pathophysiological background and relevant pathology, moving to mechanisms of treatment, device description, procedural techniques, follow-up care, and ending with risks, contraindications and complications * Multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter for self-assessment, a total of more than 400 MCQs in the book * Features 19 procedural videos, hosted on a companion website Written and edited by the global pioneers who introduced and refined the techniques in current use, this second edition is the definitive guide to interventional cardiology and an essential purchase for the modern-day cardiologist.

Stimmen zu »Interventional Cardiology«

In Interventional Cardiology "the authors have created a consummate reference delineating the principles and practice for catheter-based treatment of heart disease...This second edition is remarkable for the way it captures the relevant advancements that have taken place in this area of medicine over he last decade. Readers will note the depth of information that Dangas and co-authors present, forsaking cursory and superficial mention in favor of radical and deep analysis. In sum, this book is meant to serve the practicing clinician on a continuing basis...In addition to use in the clinical and classroom settings, Interventional Cardiology is recommended to all health science libraries for its reference value as a benchmark in cardiac-based literature." (The Electric Review 23/03/2017) "This will be an excellent reference for both interventional and general cardiologists and trainees. It is a broad overview representing all current topics in interventional cardiology." (Doody Enterprises 24/03/2017)
