From basic clinical facts to new advanced guidelines, Practical
Cardiology: Principles and Approaches covers all aspects of
cardiology in one quick and current resource. Packed with useful
tips and step-by-step guidance, this updated second edition reviews
new drugs, new invasive and noninvasive therapeutic approaches, and
new developments in cardiology foundations, imaging modalities,
management approaches, and specific interventions for all common
cardiovascular disease modalities in all patient care settings.
Offers practical plans of action for all major cardiovascular
topics and diseases. Includes three new chapters on
electrophysiology (including tracing interpretation); mechanisms,
diagnoses, and therapies; and hypotension, syncope, and sudden
cardiac death. Features updated and expanded content throughout,
including new findings, non-ST elevation in specific populations
(elderly, women), diabetes in heart disease, and more. Provides
integrated key points that offer quick clinical summaries for all
aspects of common cardiovascular conditions. Contains more than 125
full-color illustrations with many algorithms of diagnostic and
therapeutic pathways.
The prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) has never been more
important. Throughout the world death rates from cardiovascular
causes are rising and are soon estimated to overtake infectious
diseases as the leading global cause of death for the first time in
history. All healthcare professionals need to understand what
causes this disease and how to prevent it. This new edition of this
highly successful book brings together the latest information and
research on CHD; in particular, the health professional's role in
prevention of the disease. It gives practical advice on correcting
these factors through lifestyle and medical management. Updates for
the second edition include:coverage of the new large lipid-lowering
drug trials therapeutic advances in the use of thrombolytic,
antiplatelet and anti-hypertensive drugs advances in treatments
including diabetic control, anti-smoking therapy, prescription of
exercise and the use of dietary advice. This book is aimed at the
broad range of professionals who come into contact with CHD
patients and with those at risk of CHD, including nurses,
physiotherapists, dieticiansdietitians, occupational therapists,
clinical psychologists, general practitioners, doctors who are
involved in prevention and rehabilitation and all staff working in
coronary care units, lipid and hypertension clinics and general
cardiology clinics. evidence-based content ensures a firm
scientific basis for practice the practical nature of the content
can be immediately applied in the working environment e.g. smoking
cessation strategies, dietary counseling and risk assessment the
multidisciplinary group of contributors ensures that the content
reflects the multidisciplinary nature of CHD prevention work case
studies and practice exercises enable the application of theory to
practice summaries of key points facilitate understanding and
retention the implications from clinical governance legislation,
the National Service Frameworks and Joint British Recommendations
on prevention of CHD in clinical practice recent research outcomes
e.g. the HOT trial diabetes and its links with CHD material
relating to ethnic minorities more 'global' statistics where
possible to make the text more appealing to international markets

A Case-Based Approach to Pacemakers, ICDs, and Cardiac
Resynchronization is for any individual who sees patients with
implantable devices, or who will be taking an examination related
to device management. Many caregivers working in the field of
medicine find that one of the best ways to learn is by working
through clinical cases, and for many individuals it's even more
helpful to work through the examples as "unknowns." This is
especially true in the arena of implantable cardiac devices. In an
effort to provide this experience, experts from the Mayo Clinic,
Rochester, Minnesota, have produced two volumes of case studies
that encompass variations of normal and abnormal function of
pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices. The texts have been written
collaboratively by five clinicians with differing backgrounds in an
effort to present the cases in such a way that they are applicable
to a variety of caregivers. Cases for this book were selected based
on clinical relevance and their usefulness for illustrating general
principles, practical tips, or interesting findings in device
practice, with the goal of advancing general concepts in device
management. The first volume includes introductory and intermediate
cases. The second volume includes additional intermediate cases as
well as advanced/multipart cases.Includes eBook access.

Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the
acclaimed Meylers Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These
individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the
practicing physician or health care clinician.
Each year, heart disease kills more people than cancer. Patients
are treated by a variety of specialists and primary care
practitioners, depending on the organ system involved. This volume
enables practitioners to assess the adverse effects of the complete
range of drugs used in cardiovascular medicine, including
antihypertensive drugs, and drugs used in the treatment of heart
failure, angina, angina pectoris, and cardiac arrhythmia and enable
practitioners to prescribe preventative treatments with medications
such as blood pressure reducers, aspirin, and cholesterol-lowering
drugs, as well as drugs used for more aggressive therapy.
The material is drawn from the 15th edition of the
internationally renowned encyclopedia, Meyler s Side Effects of
Drugs, and the latest volumes in the companion series, Side Effects
of Drugs Annuals. Drug names have usually been designated by their
recommended or proposed International Non-proprietary Names (rINN
or pINN); when those are not available, clinical names have been
used. In some cases, brand names have been used.
This volume is critical for any health professional involved in
the administration of cardiovascular mediations.
Surpasses the Physician s Desk Reference (c) by including clinical
case studies and independent expert analysisComplete index of drug
namesMost complete cross referencing of drug-drug interactions
availableExtensive references to primary and secondary
literatureAlso includes information on adverse effects in
pregnancy
The book is divided into six sections:
Drugs used to treat hypertension, heart failure and angina
pectorisDiuretics - a general introduction to their adverse
effects, followed by monographs on individual drugsAntidysrhythmic
drugs - a general introduction to their adverse effects, followed
by monographs on individual drugsDrugs that act on the cerebral and
