Patologia cardiovascolare

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.

The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care is the official textbook of the Acute Cardiovascular Care Association (ACVC) of the ESC.Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of premature death worldwide and a cause of loss of disability-adjusted life years. For most types of CVD early diagnosis and intervention are independent drivers of patient outcome. Clinicians must be properly trained and centres appropriately equipped in order to deal with these critically ill cardiac patients.This new updated edition of the textbook continues to comprehensively approach all the different issues relating to intensive and acute cardiovascular care and addresses all those involved in intensive and acute cardiac care, not only cardiologists but also critical care specialists, emergency physicians and healthcare professionals. The chapters cover the various acute cardiovascular diseases that need high quality intensive treatment as well as organisational issues, cooperation among professionals, and interaction with other specialities in medicine.SECTION 1 focusses on the definition, structure, organisation and function of ICCU's, ethical issues and quality of care. SECTION 2 addresses the pre-hospital and immediate in-hospital (ED) emergency cardiac care. SECTIONS 3-5 discuss patient monitoring, diagnosis and specific procedures. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), and serious arrhythmias form SECTIONS 6-8. The main other cardiovascular acute conditions are grouped in SECTION 9. Finally SECTION 10 is dedicated to the many concomitant acute non-cardiovascular conditions that contribute to the patients' case mix in ICCU.This edition includes new chapters such as low cardiac output states and cardiogenic shock, and pacemaker and ICDs: troubleshooting and chapters have been extensively revised. Purchasers of the print edition will also receive an access code to access the online version of the textbook which includes additional figures, tables, and videos to better to better illustrate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and procedures in IACC.The third edition of the ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care will establish a common basis of knowledge and a uniform and improved quality of care across the field.
