This book provides cardiologists with access to the wealth of
imaging from the Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart and
Lung Institute in London to enable them to improve on their own
skills and refine their imaging technique. The authors correlate
this echocardiography experience with the pathological and surgical
aspects of congenital heart defects. They include a review of the
pathologic, physiologic and surgical observations of different
congenital diseases to assist in understanding the various
echocardiographic presentations. The book contains large numbers of
echocardiographic images.
Congenital heart disease is gaining importance as a condition that
effects not only the pediatric population but also the adult
population, as many congenital cardiac conditions remain silent for
years until accidentally discovered on routine check up.
Echocardiography in Adult Congenital Heart Disease provides
cardiologists with access to the wealth of imaging from the Royal
Brompton Hospital and National Heart and Lung Institute in London
to enable them to improve on their own skills and refine their
imaging technique. The authors correlate this echocardiography
experience with the pathological and surgical aspects of congenital
heart defects.
The book systematically describes the clinical and scientific
aspects of cardiovascular calcification. Chapters detail the
mechanisms associated with arterial and valve calcification,
relevant risk factors, pathophysiology and the latest therapeutic
techniques. Recent diagnostic technological developments including
how computed tomography (CT) scanning can be utilized along with
Agatston score to quantify coronary arterial calcification when
investigating whether a patient for sub-clinical atherosclerosis
are covered. The correlation with the presence of arterial
calcification and extent of coronary stenosis is also explored.
Cardiovasular Calcification details relevant aspects of the basic
science and reviews the latest pathological and therapeutic
techniques used in treating patients with cardiovascular
calcification. It is therefore an essential resource for practicing
cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular specialists and
radiologists.
