Review Peripheral Vascular Disease for Cardiologists: A Clinical Approach / Wiley-Blackwell:This topic has been inadequately addressed in most training programs and the literature directed toward cardiologists. Most cardiologists must have adequate basic training in vascular medicine in order to care for patients with peripheral vascular diseases. This text, the first of its kind, is intended to fill a need for cardiologists who wish to broaden their knowledge base and clinical skills in recognition and management of common peripheral vascular disorders that occur in cardiovascular practice. Peripheral Vascular Disease for Cardiologists will be presented in a practical, clinical framework rather than the usual textbook format. Additionally, in order to facilitate rapid retrieval of information, a detailed index will be included.

Review Quick Guide to Coagulation Testing / AACC Press:The Quick Guide to Coagulation Testing - a joint effort of the Departments of Pathology and Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham - is intended for health practitioners, residents, and students. Ordering and interpreting laboratory assays is often taken for granted, but the complexity of coagulation testing renders the understanding of laboratory results even more critical than in other areas. Lack of awareness of the effect of clinical conditions or the interference of drugs on hemostasis test results may lead to disastrous misinterpretations. The Guide was designed to be used as a speedy reference for anyone who orders, collects, performs, or interprets hemostasis laboratory tests. Its pocket size offers immediate access at the time and location tests are ordered. We included the most common hemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions, their treatment with blood products or anticoagulants, and treatment monitoring. Diseases and assays are listed together. Our experience suggests that the Guide will be a valuable resource for many medical professionals.

Review Mechanical Circulatory Support (Landes Bioscience Medical Handbook (Vademecum)) / Landes Bioscience:Mechanical circulatory support is a well established therapeutic modality for treating refractory heart failure in patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock, and approved cardiac transplant recipients who fail hemodynamically prior to the availability of a donor heart. In the near future, the indications for use of mechanical blood pumps may well expand to include temporary support in patients with acute myoicarditis, and for permanent implantation as an alternate to cardiac transplantation. This handbook is a concise, portable compendium that focuses on the clinical use of mechanical blood pumps. All aspects of mechanical circulatory support is addressed, including patient selection, preoperative preparation, operative management including surgical implantation techniques, anesthetic considerations and conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass, postoperative management including complication associated with blood pump use and long-term care and rehabilitation.

Review Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician / Springer:Since the publication of the first edition of Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician, the use of implantable cardiac devices has expanded rapidly. Certain classes of devices such as implantable loop recorders and cardiac resynchronization pacing systems were not commonly used when the first edition was published, and recent studies have shown that implantable cardioverter defibrillators are beneficial in large, previously unrecognized patient populations at risk for sudden death. In order to meet this demand, cardiologists without special training in electrophysiology or pacing are implanting an increasing number of cardiac devices. It is in this rapidly evolving setting that Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician, Second Edition is being undertaken. The main focus of this volume will be to provide a practical discussion of the “nuts and bolts” of implantable cardiac devices. The target audience will be cardiologists in practice and in training as well as nurses, technologists and industry. In addition, it will benefit physicians preparing for certification. Additions to the new edition will include: Chapters discussing new cardiac devices; Implantation of Left Ventricular Leads for Cardiac Resynchronization Pacing Systems; Identification of Candidates for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy; Follow-Up Issues in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy; Implantable Loop Recorders. Updates to the existing chapters will include: New Trial Information & Follow-Up of the Newest Generation of Defibrillators; Use of Defibrillators in Patients at Increased Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death due to Long QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome and Congenital Heart Disease; Updates to Lead Extraction – New Techniques and Tools; Cardiac Pacing chapter will shift focus to Cardiac Devices. This new edition of Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician, Second Edition will become a valuable resource to the general cardiologist and cardiology fellow by providing practical information for managing patients with complex cardiac devices.

Review Moderate Alcohol Consumption and Cardiovascular Disease / Springer:The complex relationships between alcohol use and human health represent an area of increasing interest to specialists interested in preventive cardiology. The inverse relationship between alcohol consumption and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, has in fact gained sound scientific support in recent years. This book, based in an international symposium on the topic held in Venice, October 30-31, 1999, analyzes in depth the epidemiological association between alcohol consumption and human diseases and discusses the possible mechanisms involved in alcohol-associated protection from atherosclerotic diseases. The oxidative effects of different amounts of alcohol intake and of various alcoholic beverages in the production of these effects - subjects of considerable debate - are also analyzed. This book will be of interest to clinicians and researchers active in the areas of atherosclerosis, public health, preventive medicine, and preventive cardiology. It is intended to specifically help practising clinicians provide their patients with evidence-based answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding alcohol use.
