Hemodynamic Rounds: Interpretation of Cardiac Pathophysiology from Pressure Waveform Analysis 4th Edition

April 26, 2018

[amazon_link asins=’B079TZ5BRC’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’9ffb489e-498a-11e8-b5bc-5db8647b0de9′]

The essential resource on cardiac hemodynamics—now in a new edition

Hemodynamic Rounds, Fourth Edition is intended to help cardiologists, cardiovascular fellowship trainees, residents and other members of the medical community enhance their understanding of cardiac physiology and its associated hemodynamic presentations in health and disease. This includes the basic principles of flow and pressure measurements, systemic as well as coronary hemodynamics in normal and diseased states, and changes in hemodynamics following interventional procedures ranging from TAVI and valvuloplasty to stent placement.

Like its popular predecessors, this new edition draws on case studies to illustrate characteristic cardiac hemodynamic findings and discusses the essential methods used in interpreting pressure waveforms as a diagnostic and monitoring tool.

The text is organized into chapters on specific areas of the heart, common cardiac pathophysiologic conditions, and hemodynamic situations resulting from different therapeutic procedures. It includes discussions of both normal and abnormal pressure waveforms. This new edition has been revised throughout to include brand new content on aortic and mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation as well as TAVI and mitral clip hemodynamics. Highlights include:

Essential and easy to understand resource for those required to interpret cardiac blood flow and blood pressure tracings
Covers hemodynamic assessment by cardiac disorder, plus the bedside applications of hemodynamics
Revised throughout and includes brand new content on valve stenosis and regurgitation and TAVI and mitral clip hemodynamics

Hemodynamic Rounds: Interpretation of Cardiac Pathophysiology from Pressure Waveform Analysis, Fourth Edition is an indispensable tool for all physicians, nurses, and students responsible for measuring and interpreting cardiac waveforms in cardiac diagnosis and monitoring.

Hypertension and Comorbidities (Practical Case Studies in Hypertension Management) 1st ed

April 26, 2018

[amazon_link asins=’3319391631′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’0ab192d9-4949-11e8-9766-4d9478fd462c’]

This guide is structured to assist physicians in the management of those hypertensive patients who present with specific comorbidities, such as diabetes, systolic dysfunction, obesity, renal disease, or previous cardiac events, often associated with hypertension. The clinical cases contained in this book have been selected to provide a paradigmatic set of scenarios frequently encountered in daily clinical practice, and will serve as an easy-to-access tool in applying general guidelines to individual patients, particularly in the choice of the most appropriate antihypertensive therapy. Treatment of hypertension with associated clinical conditions require specific therapies and combinations of drugs, which are necessarily different from one comorbidity to another. By discussing exemplary cases that may better represent clinical practice in a “real world” setting, and analyzing step by step the diagnostic and therapeutic process, this book will assist cardiologists and physicians in selecting the diagnostic tools and forms of treatment best suited to the individual patient and the particular cardiovascular risk profile.

About the Author

Prof. Agostino Virdis is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University of Pisa, Italy. After graduation in 1990 in Pisa, he specialized in Clinical Pharmacology and Internal Medicine. Afterwards, he worked as fellow in the Multidisciplinary Research Group on Hypertension, (Director: Dr. E.L. Schiffrin) in the Clinical Research Institute at the University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He’s been appointed “Clinical Hypertension Specialist” from the European Society of Hypertension (ESH). His major research interests focus on neuro-humoral control of peripheral vessels in primary and secondary forms of hypertension, and in other cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity and diabetes mellitus. Particular emphasis is given to the study of mechanisms accounting for vascular disease (including endothelial dysfunction and structural alterations in peripheral microcirculation associated with hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors) both in humans and in animal models of disease, and to the impact of pharmacological therapy on vascular disease.

Resistance to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (Resistance to Targeted Anti-Cancer Therapeutics) 1st ed

April 26, 2018

[amazon_link asins=’3319460900′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’ba89f941-4947-11e8-9a76-f35d3b5897b4′]

The volume will serve as a primer on tyrosine kinase signaling and its importance in cancer. The volume will first introduce the common denominators of small-molecule and antibody-derived inhibitors, as well as the general phenomenon of resistance. The volume will then detail resistance to the most commonly used classes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and will focus specific chapters on resistance to BCR-ABL1, FLT3, angiokinase family members, and ALK inhibitors.
