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.
This note describes the

This book covers all aspects
and the most vibrant topics of ischemic stroke research: from basic sciences to
latest methods of clinical applications. The authors give an overview of what
has importance today in stroke research and also strike future ideas.
This sequence provides a comprehensive introduction to diseases of
the cardiovascular system, how they present, how they are diagnosed, how they
are prevented, and how they are treated. Students learn to identify the integral
links between anatomy, physiology, pathology, and basic sciences with clinical
medicine and other essential aspects of patient care for ambulatory and
hospitalized patients who have cardiovascular disorders.
The opening chapters are devoted to a
description of instrumental and graphic methods in the study and examination of
normal and abnormal rhythms and of normal and abnormal silhouettes. Subsequent
chapters are devoted to the purely clinical side of cardiology. Careful
consideration is given to the important subjects of the pathology, etiology,
diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of endocarditis, myocarditis, and
cardiosclerosis.
