This note describes the
clinical symptoms and signs of valvular heart disease and the etiology,
pathology, and natural history of valvular heart disease.
This book is oriented to readers
interested in learning the basic principles of interventional cardiology
and offers a brief insight into the potential use of such treatments in
routine clinical practice. Topics covered includes: Radial Access in
Primary PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction, Current Concept of
Revascularization in STEMI Patients with Multivessel Coronary Artery
Disease, Chronic Total Occlusions, Chronic Total Occlusion, Percutaneous

Ischemic Heart Disease, Sudden Cardiac Death, Atherosclerosis, Plaque Rupture
And Thrombosis, Plaque Calcification, Ischemia, Management Of ACS Related Sudden

One of the most challenging
scientific steps of the modern era has been the ability to replace, functionally
or anatomically, the failing heart, and in December 2017 we celebrated the 50th
anniversary of the worlds first human heart transplant. Despite a long and
troubled hystory, heart transplantation has dramatically expanded over time, and
is currently the gold standard solution in terms of treatment of refractory
end-stage heart failure. Topics covered includes: Heart Transplant, Donor Heart
Allocation, Heart Transplantation in the Era of the Left Ventricular Assist
Devices, Surgical Management for Advanced Heart Failure in Adults with
Congenital Heart Disease, Orthotopic Heart Transplantation, Heterotopic Heart
Transplantation, Anesthesia and Intensive Care Management for Cardiac
Transplantation, Graft Vascular Disease, Post-Heart Transplantation
Lymphoproliferations, Cardiac Re-Transplantation.
The major
objective of this lecture note is for the students to gain an
understanding of the structure and function of the cardiovascular and
respiratory systems through lectures, laboratory exercises, patient
presentation and small group conferences.
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.
The information in this
guide is intended to help health care decisionmakers, patients and clinicians,
health system leaders, and policymakers, among others make well-informed
decisions and thereby improve the quality of health care services.
This note covers the following topics: Signs and symptoms,

Primary Prevention, Classification of Recommendations, Secondary
Prevention Goals and Management, Women and Coronary Artery Disease.
An electrocardiogram is an electrical recording of
the heart and is used in the investigation of heart disease. This library is a
collection of realistic looking recordings which will help improve your ECG
skills. Topics coverd are: ischaemic heart disease, hypertrophy patterns,
atrioventricular (AV) block, bundle branch block, supraventricular rhythms,
ventricular rhythms, Wolff Parkinson White syndrome.
