Arterial and venous diseases are major causes of morbidity and
mortality in most of the world, especially in the western
hemisphere. Not only of interest to angiologists, these illnesses
are also of concern to most physicians in various fields ranging
from cardiology, general medicine and cardiovascular surgery to
physiology, pathology and clinical pharmacology. Specialists in
diabetes, hypertension and epidemiology find these illnesses as
challenging in their own fields of interest due to the gross
interrelation of these diseases with their specialities. This book
of 35 chapters contains an up-to-date discussion of various
arterial and venous illnesses presenting major clinical
applications ranging from basic pathology, haemodynamics and
haemorheology to clinical features and management. Special
attention has also been paid to epidemiology and prevention,
discussing all the issues concerned. A special section on vascular
emergency has also been included, thereby extending its usefulness
to physicians and surgeons working in accident and emergency units.
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.
