Pediatric Cardiology: The Essential Pocket Guide 3rd Edition

Pediatric Cardiology: The Essential Pocket Guide 3rd Edition

Caring for children with heart disease is extremely complex, requiring a different and often tailor-made approach compared with adults with similar cardiac problems.

Built on the success of previous editions and brought to you by a stellar author team, Pediatric Cardiology: The Essential Pocket Guide provides a unique, concise and extremely practical overview of heart disease in children.

From history-taking, physical examination, ECG, and chest X-ray – the basics that enable clinicians to uncover possible problems and eliminate areas of false concern – it goes on to examine the range of more complex topics in the diagnosis and treatment/management of childhood cardiovascular disease.

New to this edition you’ll find:

  • An enhanced section on imaging including recent advances in cardiac MRI and fetal echocardiography.
  • New techniques in genetic testing for heart disease in special populations.
  • Much more emphasis on the importance of echocardiography in understanding the pathophysiology of congenital cardiac malformations.
  • Expanded section on cardiac conditions in the neonate, specifically on prenatal diagnosis and management, neonatal screening for congenital heart disease, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
  • Expanded and updated congestive cardiac failure section, including the latest in genetic and metabolic causes of heart failure, and medical/surgical treatment options; discussion of bridging therapies; essentials of transplantation, including common drug treatment regimens, clinical recognition of treatment complications and rejection, outcomes, morbidity and survival.

In addition, every chapter is fully updated with the very latest clinical guidelines and management options from the AHA, ACC and ESC.

Pediatric Cardiology: The Essential Pocket Guide, 3rd edition, is quite simply a must-have guide for all members of the multidisciplinary team managing children suffering from heart disease.

Electrocardiography in Ischemic Heart Disease: Clinical and Imaging Correlations and Prognostic Implications 2nd Edition

Electrocardiography in Ischemic Heart Disease: Clinical and Imaging Correlations and Prognostic Implications 2nd Edition

A fresh assessment of ischemic electrocardiography, its prognostic correlations, and the concepts and principles that underlie its use

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is integral to the accurate diagnosis and optimal management of patients with ischemic heart disease. Picking up a wide range of indicators, it provides valuable prognostic data to cardiologists and emergency medicine specialists for whom ECG readings are a trusted and everyday resource. Electrocardiography in Ischemic Heart Disease is designed to help enhance such clinicians’ understanding of ECG recordings and their relationship to anatomical patterns of myocardial ischemia, thereby facilitating the continued improvement of patient care.

For this new edition, the book’s globally recognized team of authors has revised and expanded the original text to bring it up to date with the cardiology of today. Practical explanations of electrophysiological mechanisms, ischemic insults, and arterial occlusions are placed in the context of the ECG’s day-to-day use, while full-color images illustrate core concepts in a vivid and instructive manner. This essential guide:

  • Demonstrates correlations between ECG recordings and anatomical patterns of myocardial ischemia
  • Covers STEMI, special forms of NSTEMI, and Q waves
  • Describes electrocardiographic patterns of ischemia, injury, and infarction
  • Includes full-color images
  • Explores advanced techniques such as contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance

Electrocardiography in Ischemic Heart Disease is an indispensable resource for both trainee and practicing cardiologists, emergency medicine physicians, and any clinicians involved in the diagnosis and management of ischemic heart disease.

Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical, Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental Analysis 1st Edition

Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical, Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental Analysis 1st Edition

Authored by the originator of the standard nomenclature for this spectrum of disorders, Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical, Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental Analysis discusses the history, anatomic features, and physiologic consequences of CHD―in one authoritative resource. The Van Praagh approach to the segmental classification of CHD, developed and implemented by Dr. Richard Van Praagh in the 1960s at Boston Children’s Hospital, remains widely used today, facilitating communication among radiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and pediatricians who are involved in the diagnosis, characterization, and management of this disease. This unique atlas offers complete coverage of the ubiquitous Van Praagh “language” of CHD, including the signs, symptoms, and clinical manifestations of malpositioned, malformed, or absent cardiovascular chambers, vessels, and valves using traditional as well as state-of-the-art technology.

  • Based upon the systematic, widely accepted Van Praagh system of three-part notation used to succinctly describe the visceroatrial situs, the orientation of the ventricular loop, and the position and relation of the great vessels.
  • Demonstrates how the Van Praagh approach facilitates interpreting and reporting findings through cardiac imaging with CT, MR, and ultrasonography, including fetal cardiac imaging.
  • Presents the pathologic anatomy that pediatric and adult cardiologists, radiologists, and echocardiographers need to understand in order to make accurate diagnoses in complex congenital heart disease; as well as the pathologic anatomy that interventionists, pediatric cardiac surgeons, and adult congenital heart surgeons need to know in order to manage their patients successfully.
  • Features more than 550 high-quality images to help you visualize and recognize malformations.
  • Shares the knowledge and expertise of a world-renowned authority on congenital heart disease―a master teacher and the originator of the Van Praagh segmental classification system.
