Quando un infermiere entra in un nuovo contesto lavorativo, viene investito da un'onda di gigantesche proporzioni di protocoll

Le malattie cardiovascolari continuano a rappresentare la principale causa di morte e disabilità. Questo libro, dedicato a tale tema cruciale della medicina, è stato pensato per offrire uno strumento innovativo e agile a studenti di medicina, medici e specialisti, cardiologi e non, interessati ad approfondire tutti i temi principali pertinenti. La novità dell’opera rientra precisamente nella geometria dei capitoli, tutti scritti da esperti riconosciuti della materia. In particolare, il lettore vi troverà sempre all’inizio di ogni contributo un caso clinico pertinente all’argomento, quindi una sintesi del tema fisiopatologico o clinico specifico, e infine uno studio scientifico commentato, tale da metterne in luce, oltre ai risultati, uno o più aspetti metodologici di rilievo. La sezione centrale si avvicina per forma e contenuti ad altri testi di cardiologia, ma l’abbinamento caso clinico - sintesi del tema - studio scientifico costituisce una novità sostanziale.

This extensive clinically focused book is a detailed practical 3D echocardiography imaging reference that addresses the concerns and needs of both the novice and experienced 3D echocardiographer. Chapters have been written in a highly instructive and practical disease- and problem-oriented approach supported by illustrative high-quality images (and corresponding 3D echo video clips where applicable) that demonstrate the incremental value of 3D echocardiography over 2D echocardiography in practice. Practical 3D Echocardiography is an intuitive guide to 3D imaging – what to look for, how to look for it, the best and special views, caveats and pitfalls when applicable, and clinical pearls and pointers – that can be used in daily practice. It is therefore of immense value to any practicing or trainee echocardiographer, cardiologist and internist. 

This book describes how to monitor and optimize cardiovascular dynamics using advanced hemodynamic monitoring in perioperative and intensive care medicine. The book outlines basic skills of hemodynamic monitoring, different techniques including invasive, minimally invasive, and non-invasive methods, and algorithms and treatment strategies for perioperative goal-directed hemodynamic therapy in different groups of surgical patients. Thus, the book reflects current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in perioperative and intensive care medicine. All sections of this book have a learning-oriented style and are illustrated with tables and figures summarizing the main content. The volume is addressed both to specialists and residents using advanced hemodynamic monitoring; it reflects indications and limitations of current monitoring tools and discuss therapeutic strategies. It also helps readers to integrate new knowledge on monitoring of cardiovascular dynamics into clinical practice.

The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Imaging third edition provides extensive coverage of all cardiovascular imaging modalities. Produced in collaboration with the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging with contributions from specialists across the globe and edited by a distinguished team of experts, it is a 'state of the art' clinically-orientated imaging reference. Now fully revised and updated with the latest imaging techniques and technology and covering even more conditions than before, it not only discusses the principles of individual modalities but also clearly demonstrates the added value each technique can bring to the treatment of all cardiac diseases. Richly illustrated with colour figures, images, and tables and using a wealth of newly available evidence to link theory to practice, it demonstrates how these techniques can be used in the diagnosis of a range of cardiovascular diseases. Learning how to apply them in practice is made easy with free access to videos and imaging loops online. Impressive in scope, The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Imaging contains information on cutting-edge technical developments in echocardiography, CT, CMR and hybrid imaging and well imaging's current role in cardiac interventions, such as identifying cardiac structures, helping to guide procedures and exclude possible complications. The application of imaging modalities in conditions such as valvular and coronary heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, peri-myocardial disease, adult congenital heart disease and aortic disease, is also extensively considered. From discussion on improved imaging techniques and advances in technology, to guidance and explanation of key practices and theories, this new edition of The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Imaging is the ideal reference guide for cardiologists and radiologists alike.

Questo manuale è stato redatto allo scopo di introdurre il lettore con un approccio interdisciplinare nell’affascinante mondo delle immagini a colori. Abbiamo cercato di evitare le istruzioni passive a favore di un metodo didattico interattivo che si avvale della presentazione, alla fine di ciascun capitolo, di quesiti e problemi utili alla revisione di quanto riportato nel testo. Tale approccio semplifica l’apprendimento e la memorizzazione degli argomenti trattati, a vostro beneficio. Per lo stesso motivo, al fine di facilitare l’orientamento anatomico e l’identificazione delle strutture, abbiamo realizzato disegni esplicativi accanto alle complesse immagini eco-colorDoppler. Cercate di identificare le strutture indicate nei disegni con i numeri, prima di controllare la vostra risposta nel risvolto di copertina. L’esperienza insegna che questo è il metodo più immediato ed intuitivo di apprendimento, piuttosto che “navigare” tra i disegni e le abbreviazioni. Se prendete in considerazione l’aspetto sportivo, potreste trarre anche occasione di divertimento. L’approccio utilizzato in questo libro si basa sulla esperienza degli autori, raccolta nell’ambito di corsi didattici di istruzione all’ECD. I corsi interdisciplinari, parte integrante della Arbeitsgruppe Medizindidaktik Düsseldorf, limitati a gruppi di cinque partecipanti per tutor, hanno ottenendo grande successo e numerosi consensi (www.medidak.de). Quali docenti abbiamo raccolto l’adesione dei colleghi Franca Bergfelder, Jonathan Brück, Klemens Freitag, Ira Gabor, Arnd Giese, Fabian Girke, Maike Hüssmann, Anne Jäckel, Kai Jannusch, Kathrin Klein, Nicole Majewski, Alice e Ole Martin, Ralf Rulands, Stefan Schmidt, Thomas Schmidt, Isabelle Stetter, Christian Weigel, Daniel Weiss e Björn Wieland. Merita inoltre il nostro ringraziamento la ditta Samsung Electronics, che ha contribuito alle spese di stampa dell’Edizione tedesca e fornito alcune immagini. Ringraziamo anche la Sig.ra Ramona Sprenger ed il Sig. Jens Kellersmann che con cura meticolosa hanno svolto in silenzio il lavoro di rifinitura e fornito numerose proposte di modifica e miglioramento del creativo Layout editoriale e della veste grafica. È stato possibile riportare numerose immagini contenute nel capitolo della cardiologia grazie all’amicizia e disponibilità del Direttore della nostra clinica di Cardiologia, Broncopneumologia ed Angiologia, Sig. Univ. Prof. Dr. Malte Kelm. Ringrazio di cuore i due esperti colleghi Dr. Georg Groß e Dr. Alexis-Müller Marbach che con la loro preparazione hanno fornito preziosi ed utili suggerimenti nell’ambito gastroenterologico, nonché nell’iconografia, di facile comprensione per il lettore. Nella convinzione che la lettura di questo testo sia per voi stimolo per ulteriori approfondimenti degli argomenti trattati, vi auguro di utilizzare quanto appreso con successo nella vostra attività professionale.
