Atlas of Mitral Valve Repair

October 5, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0781746922]

This full-color atlas with accompanying video DVD provides a complete and practical “how-to” guide to planning and performing mitral valve repair surgery for mitral regurgitation. The book reviews the natural history of mitral regurgitation, the functional anatomy of the mitral valve, and the use of echocardiography in preoperative evaluation and surgical planning. Chapters describe and illustrate all techniques currently used for mitral valve repair and discuss results.

A bound-in DVD presents narrated video clips of six cases that show the application of specific techniques. Each case begins with preoperative echocardiograms demonstrating the mitral valve defect and proceeds through key surgical maneuvers.

Atlas of Two-Dimensional Echocardiography in Congenital Cardiac Defects

October 5, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0898387833]

In a relatively short period of time two-dimensional echo cardiography has become the most important non-invasive diagnostic tool in the daily practice of a pediatric cardiologist who predominantly deals with congenital structural heart disease in neonates and infants. Consequently, one-dimensional M-mode echocardiography has lost most of its importance particularly in this field. Therefore, an atlas showing exclusively two-dimensional echocardiograms of the most common and some less frequently occurring malformations appeared to be a useful addition to the existing literature. The confinement to two dimensional imaging alone allowed an elaborate presentation of the various defects with more than 200 selected still frames and many additional explanatory drawings and diagrams. The material was collected from patients who were referred to the Department of Pediatric Cardiology of the Wilhelmina University Children’s Hospital in Utrecht during a period of about 2 years. The two-dimensional echocardiographic findings were correlated with cardiac catheterization data and/or surgical procedures and/or post mortem investigations. The necessary echocardiographic equipment was aquired with financial aid from the Dutch Heart Foundation. We are indebted to Mrs. J. W. Wetselaar for her outstanding artwork. We also thank P. D. Woltema and F. J. van Waert for the photographic reproductions, Jacomine Bosma for preparing and type-setting the entire manuscript and Dr. N. Middleton for critically reading the English text. G.

Microdomains in the Cardiovascular System (Cardiac and Vascular Biology) 1st ed. 2017 Edition

October 5, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3319545787]

The book comprehensively presents new findings in cardiovascular research related to signaling microdomains in health and disease. Important second messengers such as cAMP, cGMP, calcium and their role in microdomain signaling are discussed. The book offers and explains methodical approaches and technical ways how to successfully analyze microdomain signaling, also in the context of disease. It further provides scientific perspectives and strategies that are based on the concept of signaling within microdomains and that can revolutionize pharmacology and eventually lead to the effective treatment of cardiovascular diseases in future.

This book is written for scientists in cardiovascular research, pharmacology, molecular and cellular biology as well as medical doctors in cardiology, angiology and nephrology.

About the Author

Prof. Viacheslav Nikolaev, PhD is the Director of the Institute of Experimental Cardiovascular Research at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany. He is also a member of the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK). His main interest is live-cell imaging of cardiac cAMP and cGMP microdomains and their role in heart failure.

Prof. Manuela Zaccolo, MD is the Director of the Burdon Sanderson Cardiac Science Centre and works in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford. She is interested in the regulatory principles by which intracellular signalling networks achieve the plasticity and context-sensitivity necessary for a cell to function. A central topic of her research is the role of local regulation of cyclic nucleotide signalling in healthy and diseased hearts.

October 2, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=140513500X]

Tremendous advances in intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) have coincided with the evolution of interventional electrophysiology.

This book is designed to provide both the electrophysiologist and echocardiographer with an in-depth view of the role and value of ICE during electrophysiologic procedures. A guide to techniques used for optimal ICE imaging in cardiac electrophysiology is provided. In addition, new and less-recognized uses of ICE in electrophysiological procedures are described and their clinical applications are presented.

Illustrated with over 500 images, many of which are in color, the book can also be used as a practical atlas. Readers need not be experts in the field of echocardiography to benefit from this practical approach to intracardiac imaging in electrophysiology.
