In the past few years it has become clear that left ventricular
dysfunction, even of severe degree, may be reversible after
coronary revascularization in some patients. As a result,
myocardial viability has captured the imagination of researchers
and clinicians seeking to unravel the cellular and subcellular
mechanisms and define appropriate diagnostic modalities. These
diagnostic modalities include: cardiac catheterization,
positron-emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging,
two-dimensional echocardiography and single-photon imaging. This
book, for the first time, brings together a diverse array of
information in a comprehensive and concise fashion using a template
of ten chapters written by experts in the field. It will be
required reading for cardiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine
specialists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists and
basic researchers and their trainees who are involved in the
management of patients with coronary artery disease in whom
myocardial viability is a clinically relevant issue.
Cardiac output has always been a subject of interest to both
clinicians and researchers in different branches of medicine and
surgery. In the last decade more attention has also been paid to
its application in pediatrics, neonatology, fetal medicine and
pregnancy. Better understanding of the peripheral circulation has
provided more insight into the patholophysiology of different
diseases. Many cardiac and non-cardiac disorders affect cardiac
outputs. Monitoring of the changes in cardiac output is also
important in the acutely ill patient. There are several methods to
measure cardiac output, each with advantages and pitfalls. This
book deals with all relevant aspects of cardiac output in eight
parts: part one describes the methods of measuring cardiac output
and a comparison between the catheterisation based and the
noninvasive techniques, while part two describes the changes in
cardiac output due to physiological causes. Part three describes
cardiac output in cardiac diseases and systemic hypertension.
Cardiac output in acutely ill patients is discussed in part four.
Effect of cardiac medications, temporary atrial pacing, permanent
pacing, pharmacologic stress testing and anesthesia are covered in
detail in part six, while changes in cardiac output in noncardiac
diseases are described in part seven. Finally great attention has
been paid in part eight to the regional circulation including
cerebral, coronary, skeletal and splanchnic circulations. A
separate chapter discusses in detail the dynamics of blood flow.
This book will be useful both to the cardiologists as well as to
physicians in other fields of surgery and medicine and to their
trainees. Readers will find this book an interesting and a useful
reference on the topic of cardiac output.
