Sudden Cardiac Death
A Handbook for Clinical Practice
Douglas Zipes , Silvia Priori
editore: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
pagine: 304
This book draws on the established European guidelines from the ESC that address the key issues in sudden cardiac death, such as identifying individuals at risk prior to an episode of a ventricular tachyarrhythmia or a sudden cardiac arrest, and responding in a timely fashion to the person suffering the event out-of-the-hospital. It presents an update on what is known about sudden cardiac arrest, from basic experimental studies to clinical trials, and serves as a complement to the ESC Core Syllabus on this subject. Topics include epidemiology, genetics, arrhythmogenic mechanisms, risk stratification, autonomic nervous system and phenotypes. Disease states and special populations are also covered, as well as drug, device and ablation treatments, and cost effectiveness. All chapters are co-authored by experts from both Europe and the US. The ESC Education Series:This book is part of the ESC Education Series. The series is designed to provide medical professionals with the latest information about the understanding, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases.
Where available, management recommendations are based on the established European Guidelines, which encompass the best techniques to use with each cardiac disease. Throughout the series, the leading international opinion leaders have been chosen to edit and contribute to the books. The information is presented in a succinct and accessible format with a clinical focus.

editore: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
pagine: 312
This book is focused on the use of non-invasive imaging in clinical cardiology. Its central theme is the use of different imaging modalities in the routine clinical problems that physicians encounter on a regular basis. Many different clinical issues are discussed, including valvular disease, coronary artery disease, and myocardial and pericardial disease. In these various pathologies, the applications of echocardiography, nuclear imaging, CMR and MSCT are highlighted. The majority of chapters are illustrated with a clinical case study and with moving images, which are contained on the accompanying CD. These case studies offer excellent examples of how to use the imaging modalities in clinical cardiology. The contributors are from Europe, the US and Asia to provide a global perspective.This book with its supporting CD is part of the "ESC Education" series.

Innovative Management of Atrial Fibrillation
David Schwartzman , Marco Zenati
editore: Blackwell Futura
pagine: 208
Atrial fibrillation is underdiagnosed and preventative strategies are underutilized. The disease is estimated to rise to an epidemic level, increasing by over 50 per cent by the end of the decade, occurring commonly in the setting of otherwise 'healthy' aging. "Innovative Management of Atrial Fibrillation" provides a forum for a full discussion on this topical matter.Distinguished experts from both electrophysiology and cardiac surgery place their work in the context of future development, examining the short-comings of current pharmacological treatments. This results in a unique, comprehensive review for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and anyone who wishes to gain a complete perspective on the fast-paced field of atrial fibrillation. The material ranges from atrial pathophysiology to advanced minimally invasive surgical ablation and cutting edge palliative and curative therapeutic options. The book also includes the examination of innovative management strategies and the next generation of therapies, giving an essential insight into the emerging potential of gene therapy.
