Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) are at increased
risk of death when compared with age-matched healthy controls. They
are also, whether symptomatic or not, six times more likely to die
within ten years when compared to patients without the disease.
This excess mortality exists even if coronary artery disease is not
clinically present, and makes the treatment of PVD a highly
important and pressing topic. In this fully up-to-date text, Dr.
Mukherjee and his excellent team of twenty-one contributors present
the reader with all of the currently available clinical information
for treating PVD patients effectively.
Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) are at increased

patients with PVD, whether symptomatic or not, are six times more

the disease. This excess mortality exists even if coronary artery
disease is not clinically present, and makes the treatment of PVD a
highly important and pressing topic. shown that risk factors in
peripheral vascular disease are less likely to be treated, and
because patients with PVD have a decreased exercising capacity, a
cycle of sedentary lifestyle impacts upon quality of life and the
progression of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the improvement of
symptoms without a pharmacological or non-pharmacological
intervention is unlikely, making appropriate therapy for PVD
critical. twenty-one contributors present the reader with all of
the currently available clinical information for treating PVD
patients effectively, discussing, for example, treatments such as:
* risk factor modification and therapy to prevent cardiovascular
events * pharmacological therapy for claudication * exercise
training for the treatment of claudication * surgical or
endovascular revascularization.
This text discusses the basic aspects of multislice CT angiography
with chapters on technical principles, basic scan technique for
peripheral vascular imaging with multislice CT, image
reconstruction with multislice CT, radiation doses, and contrast
agent administration. Clinical applications for each major vascular
territory are covered in-depth, with clear descriptions of the
examination technique for assessing the peripheral vasculature
including the aorta to detect various vascular pathologies. The
section on MR angiography provides a comprehensive overview of the
current state of magnetic resonance (MR) vascular imaging. The
basic principles and technical features of MR angiography are
outlined, with chapters on fundamentals of MR angiography and
commonly used pulse sequences and contrast dosing. Specific
chapters focus on each particular vascular territory including the
extracranial and intracranial circulation, the pulmonary
circulation, the thoracic and the abdominal aorta, the renal, and
mesenteric circulation and both the lower and the upper extremity
circulation. Easy to follow clinical protocols for angiographic
imaging for the different vascular regions are provided. The text
also addresses imaging of the venous circulation using MR and CT
angiography.
Written by clinicians, for clinicians, Cardiovascular Medicine and
Surgery offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and
multidisciplinary approach to this rapidly evolving field. Covering
every area relevant to the daily practice of cardiovascular
medicine, this new and innovative reference text, led by Drs.
Debabrata Mukherjee and Richard A. Lange, brings together a stellar
team of cardiovascular specialists from leading medical centers
worldwide who focus on cutting-edge strategies for the clinical and
surgical management of patients. Both medicine and surgery are
highlighted in chapters along with follow-up care and changing
technology to equip the clinician for optimal patient care. Highly
structured and templated chapters cover pathogenesis, diagnosis,
management, special considerations/limitations, follow-up care, and
on-going and future research , Provides clinicians and fellows with
comprehensive, evidence-based guidance on clinical cardiology,
cardiovascular imaging, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology,
heart failure, vascular medicine, cardiovascular surgery, adult
congenital heart disease, and preventative cardiology. Offers a
multidisciplinary, heart team approach for valvular pathologies and
coronary heart disease, with chapters authored either by a
cardiologist or cardiac surgeon, or both based on subspecialty.
Features a dedicated section on cardiac surgery to provide
cardiologists a better perspective of commonly performed cardiac
surgical procedures, risks and benefits, follow-up patient care,
and changing technology. Includes hundreds of high-quality
full-color anatomic illustrations, diagnostic images (ECGs,
transthoracic echocardiograms, angiograms, MRIs), diagnostic and
management algorithms, quick-reference tables, and clinical case
studies throughout. eBook provides on-the-go access to additional
online-only figures, tables, and videos Serves as a comprehensive,
easily accessible reference for busy practitioners and
cardiovascular trainees. , Enrich Your eBook Reading Experience

The dynamic field of Cardiology with its recent changes in
management strategy and technology, make this new Cardiology pocket
indispensable. The tools included, such as treatment algorithms,
tables, and illustrations, make this pocket a prime practical
reference tool. * Concise guidance on important and commonly seen
cardiology conditions * Helps cardiologists in selecting diagnostic
tool for various conditions * Provides recommendation for
pre-operative evaluation taking into account specific risk factors
and comorbidities as well as reviews commonly used by cardiologists
* Easily accessible point-of-care reference for busy practitioners
and cardiology trainees
Interventional cardiology refers to the catheter-based treatment of
cardiovascular diseases and is one of the fastest growing fields in
medicine. This updated text addresses recent advances in structural
heart interventions, in particular aortic and mitral valve
procedures. The advent of newer technologies presents both
opportunities and challenges for the cardiologist to treat patients
optimally. Interventional cardiologists are now at the forefront of
peripheral and structural heart interventions. This new edition
focuses on tailoring treatment to individual patients, taking into
account specific risk factors and comorbidities, and appropriate
use of devices. This second edition also provides useful tools,
such as treatment algorithms, evidence tables, charts, tables, and
illustrations to enhance the value of this volume as a practical
reference tool. The online edition also includes several "how-to"
videos.
