Manuale cardionursing. Uno strumento per l'assistenza infermieristica
editore: Centro Scientifico Editore
pagine: 647
L'opera nasce dalla collaborazione di Cardiologi e Infermieri: i contesti in cui viene assistito e trattato il paziente cardiologico (dall'UTIC alla degenza, agli ambulatori di diagnostica invasiva e non invasiva) vedono infatti più che mai una forte integrazione tra le due categorie. Il Manuale potrebbe apparire ponderoso, ma fa il punto sullo stato dell'arte e le novità: i progressi della Cardiologia sono molti e continuamente ve ne sono di nuovi, basti pensare all'approccio sempre più invasivo alle sindromi coronariche acute, alle problematiche legate all'uso sempre più crescente dei "device", e così via dicendo.
Sindrome coronarica acuta. Un nuovo modo di fare diagnosi, un nuovo modo di impostare la terapia
Ferdinando M. Massari
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 80
Il volume fornisce una rivisitazione schematica ma, nello stesso tempo, completa e aggiornata della problematica relativa alla Sindrome Coronarica Acuta, alla luce di quanto pubblicato negli ultimi dieci anni. Premettendo i concetti di elettrocardiografia e di istofisiopatologia, viene affrontata la riclassificazione nosologica della patologia coronarica acuta derivata dall'introduzione nella pratica clinica dei nuovi marker di necrosi miocardica, sottolineando anche la necessit che il Medico valuti il rischio intrinseco alla malattia attraverso il calcolo di specifici punteggi proposti dagli studi clinici. Si analizzano, quindi, i diversi percorsi terapeutici che devono essere posti in essere, sia quelli puramente farmacologici, sia quelli pi "aggressivi." Ampio spazio viene dato alle modalit d'impiego dei nuovi trattamenti antitrombotici e alle modalit di scelta fra terapia farmacologica e approccio invasivo mediante coronarografia e angioplastica.
Encyclopedia of Heart Diseases

editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 680
"The Encyclopedia of Heart Diseases" is an accurate and reliable source of in-depth information on the diseases that kill more than 12 million individuals worldwide each year. In fact, cardiovascular diseases are more prevalent than the combined incidence of all forms of cancer, diabetes, asthma and leukemia. In one volume, this Encyclopedia thoroughly covers these ailments and also includes in-depth analysis of less common and rare heart conditions to round out the volume's scope. Researchers, clinicians, and students alike will all find this resource an invaluable tool for quick reference before approaching the primary literature. It offers coverage of more than 200 topics, including: applied pharmacology of current and experimental cardiac drugs, gene therapy, MRI, electron-beam CT, PET scan put in perspective, cardiac tests costs and justification, and new frontiers in cardiovascular research; and more than 150 helpful figures and illustrations! Dr. Khan is a well-published and respected expert in heart and heart diseases.
Coronary Heart Disease
Your Questions Answered

editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 240
This work is highly commended (Cardiology category). Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an enormous health problem in the developed world. It is the commonest cause of death worldwide, and GPs and nurse practitioners have a vital role to play in diagnosis, management and risk reduction. In the popular Q and A format of the "Your Questions Answered" series, this book provides succinct, expert information on CHD. Although aimed mainly at the primary care practitioner, it also addresses many questions asked about CHD by other physicians, practice and community nurses, medical students and trainees, and indeed patients. With an emphasis on evidence-based, up-to-date knowledge, the authors discus all aspects of this serious condition, including relative risk factors; the role of lifestyle in both prevention strategies and management; and the use of drug therapies, including ACE inhibitors and statins. Some frequently asked patient questions, in non-medical language, are included, and there is a list of sources of further information and patient support.

pagine: 400
The latest edition of this popular book has been fully revised and updated to cover all the latest aspects of clinical cardiology. Compact, but not condensed, "Cardiology" provides the most essential guide to clinical cardiology for undergraduate and postgraduate students. In its original conception, this book was intended as an introductory text for medical students. It has subsequently achieved a much wider readership, including nurses, junior hospital doctors preparing for membership and general practitioners. The book has in addition achieved an international audience, reaching countries with differing disease profiles and a range of healthcare provision. We have endeavored to retain the characteristics necessary to interest the diverse readership. Coverage of the traditional aspects of cardiology is included, but recent diagnostic and therapeutic developments also have their place. It has been extended to include recent technological developments in the fields of angioplasty and electrophysiology. The management of acute myocardial infarction has been revised and extended to take account of the recent rapid developments in this field.

Quick and Accurate 12 Lead ECG Interpretation
Dale Davis
editore: Springhouse Publishing Co ,U.S.
pagine: 496
Ideal for use in rapid-response arenas, this how-to guide helps clinicians identify a range of ECG abnormalities, refine the differential diagnosis, and choose the best intervention. Introductory chapters address simple concepts needed to evaluate normal 12-lead ECGs; subsequent chapters present specialized criteria needed to interpret abnormal ECGs. Differential diagnosis is presented in an organized step-by-step manner. Hundreds of easy-to-understand diagrams link anatomic information with ECG findings. Practice ECGs with answers appear at the end of each abnormality chapter. A brand-new chapter in this edition contains 25 arrhythmia strips to help readers practice and test their interpretive skills.

Current Indications for the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Dirk Bocker
,
Gunter Breithardt
e altri
editore: Blackwell Publishers
pagine: 104
In this book, well-known physicians, Bocker, Eckardt and Breithardt have put together a succinct and focused book that compliments the "CATA Series" well. Implantation of defibrillators has evolved dramatically since its introduction by Mirowski in 1980. Technological improvements in devices and leads included a gradual reduction in the size of the device, the introduction of the endocardial approach in 1988, the biphasic waveform and antitachycardia pacing in 1991, pectoral implantation in 1995, inclusion of DDD pacing in 1996 and the delivery of atrial therapies in 1998. Since the first implantation, a huge body of information on the impact of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) on prognosis has become available, first as observational studies and later as prospective randomized trials. At the present time, there is a large evidence base from the several ICD trials, although it was not always certain that such a large body of ICD evidence would accumulate.
