Diagnostic Imaging of Coronary Artery Disease
George S. Abela, Kusai Aziz
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 320
Co-authored by a nuclear cardiologist and a cardiologist, this book presents practical, up-to-date information on diagnostic imaging for coronary artery disease, including coronary CT angiography, cardiac SPECT, cardiac PET, and MRI. The authors present the basic concepts and must-know facts of these modalities and offer guidelines for risk stratification of coronary artery disease. Test questions for board review are included in this book. A companion Website will contain clinical case examples of coronary CT angiography studies and nuclear studies. Full-color images of black-and-white print CT, SPECT, and PET materials will be included. The Website will also include 31 video clips.
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Basic Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches
George S. Abela
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 548
Written by cardiologists and subspecialists who treat peripheral vascular problems, this text provides quick and practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Coverage begins with anatomy, etiology, signs and symptoms, and risk factors and proceeds to medical therapy, noninvasive and invasive diagnosis, interventional therapy, and surgical treatment. The book includes sections on training of cardiovascular fellows, residents, and house staff; venous disease; systemic manifestations of PVD; the economic impact of PVD; and billing and coding.
Myocardial Revascularization
Novel Percutaneous Approaches
George S. Abela
editore: John Wiley & Sons Inc
pagine: 296
The percutaneous method of transluminal myocardial revascularization has roused enthusiasm in the field of cardiology because it is minimally invasive and relatively inexpensive. In his progressive new book, George Abela, a widely recognized pioneer in cardiology and lasers, has brought together the expertise of international leaders on the subject in this premier reference, Myocardial Revascularization: Novel Percutaneous Approaches.
This resource provides interventional cardiologists, technical personnel and nurses in cardiac catheterization labs with the most current scholarly and clinical information available, including: A historical overview of myocardial revascularization (including the Vineberg procedure and the more recent TMR/PMR procedures) Biological responses and mechanisms of action in myocardial revascularization using mechanical, laser, ultrasound, and cryoenergy Current technology for the percutaneous method of the procedure Descriptions of other novel approaches including percutaneous in situ coronary venous arterialization Discussion of results from preliminary and advanced TMR/PMR in canine and human procedures Examination of various catheter navigation systems and potential adjunct gene therapies Myocyte transplantation to replenish the depleted myocardium Insights into the economics of these novel percutaneous techniques
