Sudden cardiac death represents a highly heterogeneous group of
cardiovascular disorders. While some may initially think of sudden
death as primarily an arrhythmogenic event, this actually
represents the minority of cases of sudden cardiac death. In the
vast majority of cases, there is an underlying anatomic disorder of
the cardiovascular system responsible for the ultimate hemodynamic
collapse known as sudden cardiac death. This book will provide an
atlas type review of ischemic and non-ischemic etiologies of sudden
cardiac death. Beyond the atlas, however, will be a "clinical
pathologic correlation" for each described disorder providing
practicing clinicians with practical information to facilitate
proper diagnosis and treatment. While an increasing array of
noninvasive diagnostic tools continue to develop, the sad fact
remains that many of the physicians and operators of these new
diagnostic modalities have never actually seen specimens which
demonstrate the fundamental pathologic abnormalities. This ability
to see first hand the underlying pathology creates an opportunity
to advance the science and enhance ones understanding of these
disease processes. There is not a comprehensive text on this
subject on the market today which provides clinical and
patholigical material in such a comprehensive manner.
