Cardiopatie congenite
Bicuspid aortic valve disease. Recomposing an anatomical mosaic
Matteo Montorfano
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 136
The main goal of this book is to find the key roots for medical innovation by critically gauging our history and the past literature, rather than to take it for "granted" as we often do. The goal of this book is to promote a new pedagogy and culture that goes beyond the acquisition of notions, a culture that demands a critical and curious posture. These unalienable skills can be explicitly observed, throughout the chapters, by the strong historical grasp that this book proposes. The key value supported here is the consciousness and valorization of the roots of existing medical knowledge. It is only through analyzing and understanding those historical innovations that we can further develop existing cardiological methods. This book also proposes a vast interdisciplinary approach to specific medical diseases, rather than focusing on sectorial analysis. This approach, coupled with a strong analysis of the past academic achievements, positions this book as a "pivot" between the current methodological research and future medical explorations.

editore: Springer London Ltd
pagine: 455
Clinical management and signs are the focus of this practical cardiogenetic reference for those who are involved in the care for cardiac patients with a genetic disease. With detailed discussion of the basic science of cardiogenetics in order to assist in the clinical understanding of the topic. The genetic causes of various cardiovascular diseases are explained in a concise clinical way that reinforces the current management doctrine in a practical manner. The authors will cover the principles of molecular genetics in general but also specific to cardiac diseases. They will discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, clinical diagnosis, molecular diagnosis and treatment of each cardiogenetic disease separately. Therapy advice, ICD indications, indications for and manner of further family investigation will all be covered, while each chapter will also contain take-home messages to reinforce the key points. The chapters reviewing the different diseases will each contain a table describing the genes involved in each.
Each chapter will also contain specific illustrations, cumulatively giving a complete, practical review of each cardiogenetic disease separately. Special emphasis will be given to advice on how to diagnose and manage cardiogenetic diseases in clinical practice, which genes should be investigated and why, and the pros and cons of genetic testing. Guidelines for investigation in families with sudden cardiac death at young age will also be included. This book will be written for the general cardiologist and the clinical geneticist who is involved in cardiac patients and will provide answers to question such as: Which genes are involved and which mutations? What is the effect of the mutation at cellular level? Which genes should be tested and why? What is the value of a molecular diagnosis? Does it influence therapy? And when should the first degree relatives be tested and in which way?
