Questo testo, che fa parte della collana di volumi realizzata dalla European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, insegna ai lettori come utilizzare il monitoraggio emodinamico, attività che richiede oggi un approfondito bagaglio di conoscenze, irrinunciabile per chi si occupa di Terapia Intensiva. L’opera offre una guida affidabile a vantaggio, sia dei neofiti che degli intensivisti ormai esperti, che vogliano approfondire le loro competenze; rappresenta un aiuto per entrambe queste categorie di colleghi perché consente loro di individuare le situazioni di inadeguata perfusione e li orienta verso le scelte più opportune per ottenere il massimo risultato dal monitoraggio dei pazienti, in condizioni criticamente gravi.Inoltre, insegna loro a valutare, in maniera corretta, il sistema cardiovascolare e la sua risposta alle variazioni del fabbisogno di ossigeno, secondo le richieste dei tessuti.Il testo è suddiviso in diversi capitoli: fisiologia e fisiopatologia; valutazioni e misurazioni di carattere clinico; aspetti di pratica clinica, comprese le varie metodiche attualmente in uso; obiettivifondamentali della gestione clinica e misure terapeutiche di natura emodinamica, da attuare nelle diverse situazioni.Ciascun capitolo utilizza un approccio di carattere didattico, è corredato da esempi pratici, sottolinea chiaramente i punti di maggiore interesse e richiama l’attenzione sui concetti che è opportuno ricordare; in tal modo i lettori vengono agevolati nel memorizzare, rapidamente, i messaggi e al tempo stesso sono in grado di trasferire quanto stanno apprendendo direttamente nella pratica clinica.

In sintesi: Concise - Short text, easy reading, ideal as an every day companion Structured - 4 sections with 40 chapters, easy access to desired content Compact - Small size, compact, fits in lab coat pocket Highly illustrated - Key information visualized in figures, tables, and graphs Tips and tricks - included to improve CT imaging Since its clinical introduction almost 20 years ago, cardiac CT has been embraced as an indispensable noninvasive cardiac imaging modality and an important first-line test for coronary artery disease. Beyond coronary artery disease, the potential of cardiac CT has become evident for diagnosis and guidance of treatment in a variety of other cardiac pathologies, including valvular disease, atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias, endocarditis, cardiac masses, cardiomyopathies, and others.The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) has declared as one of their foremost priorities to facilitate education and training in cardiovascular CT through teaching courses, congresses, and a structured certification program. This handbook represents an important step towards dissemination of skills and knowledge in cardiovascular CT. It is a concise and practical companion, to benefit students, trainees or advanced users; cardiologists, radiologists, cardiac surgeons or technicians, in their everyday practice.Four broad sections cover technical aspects and physical background, coronary indications (e.g. coronary CT angiography, atherosclerosis imaging, stents & bypasses, functional CT imaging, etc.), non-coronary indications (CT for valve disease, infective endocarditis, CT of the left atrium, congenital heart disease, cardiac masses, extracardiac findings, etc.), and finally training and competence in cardiac CT. The handbook features short chapters, enriched with illustrations, tables and condensed summaries, facilitating rapid and intuitive access.
