textbook on Angiography and Endovascular Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease
provides a comprehensive angiographic approach to assess and determine optimal
treatment strategies for peripheral artery disease. Each chapter focuses on
angiography as it relates to the outcomes of endovascular work.
We know a lot
of things about cardiac rhythms and their abnormalities, but there are
some things that are still waiting to be discovered and, therefore,
require more study. In this book, the authors put a little light on
those matters, which are not well known yet. The authors have exposed
some of such cardiac arrhythmias, especially those affecting the atria
of the heart. Topics covered includes: Atrial Flutter- Diagnosis,
Management and Treatment, Recent Advances in the Noninvasive Study of
Atrial Conduction Defects Preceding Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical
Significance of Arrhythmogenic Foci in Atrial Fibrillation,
Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy, Review on Amiodarone as an
Antiarrhythmic Drug.
This book will bring out the state of art of carotid stenosis in the
basic and clinical approaches for better understanding of the mechanisms and

Treatment of Carotid Artery Stenosis, Tissue Characterization of Carotid
Plaques, Carotid Artery, Carotid Plaque Morphology, Cerebral Protection in
Carotid Angioplasty and Management of Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Stenosis.
