Beschreibung
Sarcoidosis remains an elusive diagnosis despite advanced technology available to clinicians in most major hospitals. Once diagnosed, the disease can be progressive and disabling or remain quiescent for years. It can affect any organ, but of course, one of the greatest concerns covered in this book is cardiac involvement that can lead to sudden death, arrhythmia, and heart failure, as well as many other complications.
Cardiac Sarcoidosis is a clinician’s field guide for diagnosing, managing, and treating the disease. Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment options are reviewed with a strong clinical angle to provide high-yield and immediately implementable concepts at the bedside. Noting that there is no gold standard in diagnosing the disease or strong consensus on treatment options, the internationally renowned authors present evidence-based and balanced approaches and, in areas with little to no evidence, the emphasis is on providing best practice.
This is an easy-to-access and in-depth guide in the latest diagnostic and treatment options for this complicated and challenging disease, and will be an important resource for all medical professionals who manage or may encounter this challenging group of patients.
This book will provide, for the first time available, a concise but high yield topic review of cardiac sarcoidosis from risk factors to the development of the disease through treatment options. The book will include concepts that are emerging and those that are now known on the topic, and will use real world examples to help illustrate best practices in the management of this disease entity.
Contains high-yield practical information in understanding the cardiac disease processes Increases understanding of the disease from risk factors for its development through diagnosis using the latest technologies and management of the disease process Benefits from the thoughts of authors from all facets of cardiology
