The Oxford Textbook of Medicine: Cardiovascular Disorders is selected from the cardiology section of the renowned Oxford Textbook of Medicine. An authoritative resource on heart disease and beautifully illustrated in full colour, it is an essential guide to best practice in managing and preventing a wide variety of cardiovascular disorders. Chapters on arrhythmias, acute coronary syndromes and cardiac surgery have been completely revised and updated, together with new chapters on blood vessels and the endothelium, cardiac physiology, syncope and palpitations, and cardio-renal syndrome. Heart failure and heart disease in pregnancy are thoroughly treated, while imaging chapters evaluate the latest techniques and illustrate all clinical features with detailed images. In 46 finely crafted chapters with clear essentials, experts in cardiovascular disease review the essentials of diagnosis, guidelines and practice and provide a wealth of practical advice for use in clinical situations. In addition, background information on epidemiology, pathogenesis and pathophysiology encourages a fuller understanding of conditions, and more than 350 full colour images help with diagnosis. This essential reference tool supports all medical professionals seeking a general outline of treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disorders, and fills the gap between undergraduate teaching texts and specialist texts for cardiologists. Cardiologists and general physicians will find it immensely valuable when diagnosing and managing heart disease in their day-to-day practice. It is also of usefor trainees in cardiology and general medicine, especiallythose interested in applied cardiovascular pathophysiology.

This handbook brings together the full weight of contemporary evidence bearing on what is now commonly termed "psycho-cardiology". It focuses on the role of psycho-social factors in the genesis and clinical management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The book constitutes a critically reviewed compendium of current knowledge in the area, coupled with guides to evidence-based best practice in the field of psycho-cardiology. The following categories are covered: Social/demographic risk for CVD, Personality and CVD risk, Stress and CVD risk, Psychopathology (particularly affective disorders) and CVD risk, The psychological management of those with clinical CVD, Psychology in the prevention of CVD. The book integrates the evidence into a compelling argument that clinicians, researchers and those in public health will discount the role of psychological factors in regard to CVD at their own peril. And importantly for clinicians charged with the care of patients with CVD, the book poses the argument that failure to recognize the links between psychological factors and CVD may well be at the considerable peril of those patients under their care.

Clinical Guide to Cardiology is a quick-reference resource, packed full of bullet points, diagrams, tables and algorithms for the key concepts and facts for important presentations and conditions within cardiology. It provides practical, evidence-based information on interventions, investigations, and the management of clinical cardiology. Key features include: A clear evidence-base providing key guidelines and clinical trials in each chapter Coverage of examination techniques, common conditions, imaging modalities (including ECGs, chest X-rays, MRI and CT), interventional therapies, and pharmacology A companion website at www.wiley.com/go/camm/cardiology featuring audio clips, developed for differing levels of knowledge, that explain key concepts or an area in greater detail, as well as numerous additional clinical case studies, audio scripts, and self-assessment material

Focusing on inpatient cardiovascular medicine in a highly algorithmic and evidence-based approach, Inpatient Cardiovascular Medicine is the first book developed specifically to help hospitalists manage the rapidly growing population of hospitalized patients who present with cardiovascular disorders. Emphasizing practical, immediate application of principles and treatment recommendations into everyday clinical inpatient practice, the book simplifies the approach to these patients using visual aids such as carefully designed charts, illustrations, and diagrams.

Questo lavoro nasce dall'esperienza trentennale degli autori, medici di medicina generale specializzati in cardiologia e con un costante impegno nella formazione continua in corsi per MMG. Spesso la cardiologia entra nello studio del medico di famiglia con le sembianze di un sintomo riferito dal paziente, come referto di un esame strumentale, come consulenza dello specialista, oppure come lettera di dimissione di un reparto di cardiologia. Sono tanti dunque i problemi che si pongono: la diagnosi di una patologia cardiologica, la sua gestione e l'interpretazione di un referto. Il volume vuole offrire una strada che va oltre la totale delega agli specialisti: intende essere un approdo amichevole per medici non cardiologi che vogliano imparare semplici "principi euristici", derivati da un distillato di linee-guida. Il libro spazia lungo tutto l'orizzonte che va dai rischi di malattie frequenti e onnipresenti nell'ambulatorio di un MMG (l'ipertensione, il rischio cardiovascolare, la malattia ischemica) a malattie meno frequenti ma dall'impatto drammatico, come le gravi valvulopatie e le cardiomiopatie, ove grande importanza può avere la presa in carico del MMG, in collaborazione con il paziente e lo specialista. Il MMG nel momento di decidere una consulenza cardiologica potrà farsi guidare da questo manuale per districarsi nei meandri di una branca talora difficile ed in continua evoluzione.
