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

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
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.
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
book offers the best practice advice on the care of adult patients (aged 18
years or older) who have symptoms or a diagnosis of chronic heart failure. It
defined the most effective combination of symptoms, signs and investigations
required to establish a diagnosis of heart failure, and those which would
influence therapy or provide important prognostic information.
