Description du livre
Concise, reliable, and useful handbook for understanding the practical application of hemodynamics in clinical medicine
Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician, Third Edition is a concise, straightforward handbook to help practicing clinicians and physicians in training better understand and interpret hemodynamic data. This book contains useful and practical information that will be helpful in making specific diagnoses, determining prognosis, and guiding therapy. The text provides a basic overview of cardiac and circulatory physiology followed by detailed discussion of pathophysiological changes in various disease states.
Topics covered include the basics of hemodynamics, nuts and bolts of right heart catheterization, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, cardiogenic shock, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias, mechanical circulatory support devices, and pericardial disease. Numerous pressure tracings and comprehensive information on other hemodynamic data including cardiac output, intracardiac shunts, and coronary hemodynamics are included throughout the book. The book has a large number of case examples which reinforce the text by demonstrating what is seen in daily practice.
New content for the third edition includes expanded discussion of transcatheter valves, ventricular assist devices, ECMO, assessment of coronary microvasculature, use of resting coronary indices to determine hemodynamic significance of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, acute right heart strain in pulmonary embolus, and interventions for tricuspid and mitral valve disease.
Written by a group of highly qualified authors with significant academic and practitioner experience, Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician, Third Edition includes information on specific sample topics including: Basics of hemodynamicsNuts and bolts of right heart catheterization and PA catheter placement, the atrial waveform, cardiac output, and detection, localization, and quantification of intracardiac shuntsHemodynamics of valvular disease including aortic and mitral stenosis and regurgitation, pulmonary valve disease, and tricuspid valve diseaseHypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathyAcute and chronic heart failure Pericardial disease including constrictive pericarditis, effusive-constrictive pericarditis, and cardiac tamponadeCardiogenic shockHemodynamics of mechanical circulatory support devices including ECHO, Impella, Tandem Heart, and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsationCoronary hemodynamics, fractional flow reserve, and coronary microvascular dysfunctionHemodynamics of right ventricular myocardial infarctionPulmonary hypertensionHemodynamics of arrhythmias and pacemakers
Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician, Third Edition is an essential reference for cardiologists, intensivists, anesthesiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, advanced practice providers working in the ICU, Cath Lab or CV surgery service, medical and surgical residents, cardiology fellows, intensive care unit nurses, and cath lab nurses and techs.
