Iatrogenesis is the occurrence of untoward effects resulting from
actions of health care providers, including medical errors, medical
malpractice, practicing beyond one's expertise, adverse effects of
medication, unnecessary treatment, inappropriate screenings, and
surgical errors. This is a huge public health issue: tens to
hundreds of thousands of deaths are attributed to iatrogenic causes
each year in the US, and vulnerable populations such as the elderly
and minorities are particularly susceptible. Edited by two renowned
cardiology experts, Iatrogenicity: Causes and Consequences of
Iatrogenesis in Cardiovascular Medicine addresses both the
iatrogenicity that arises with cardiovascular interventions, as
well as non-cardiovascular interventions that result in adverse
consequences on the cardiovascular system. The book aims to achieve
three things: to summarize the available information on this topic
in a single high-yield volume; to highlight the human and financial
cost of iatrogenesis; and to describe and propose potential
interventions to ameliorate the effects of iatrogenesis. This
accessible book is a practical reference for any practicing
physician who sees patients with cardiovascular issues.
