Segunda edición de esta obra sobre cateterización cardíaca, planteada en un formato manejable, orientada a la atención point of care y dirigida a cardiólogos que necesitan una referencia rápida para cuestiones relacionadas con la cateterización. Esta obra proporciona un abordaje práctico y sencillo de este tipo de procedimientos que experimentan una notable evolución año tras año convirtiéndose en una parte esencial de la cardiología. Los capítulos iniciales ayudan al principiante con descripciones de cómo llevar a cabo los procedimientos, qué pasos hay que aprender primero, etc. Los capítulos posteriores se dedican a técnicas especiales, cateterismos de alto riesgo, técnicas de investigación, intervenciones coronarias percutáneas y optimización de los resultados. La parte principal de la obra se centra en los protocolos de tratamiento que se ofrecen para cada procedimiento de cateterismo cardíaco, todos ellos actualizados y basados en las recomendaciones clínicas más actuales disponibles sobre el tema. Algunos de los objetivos de la nueva edición es eliminar todas aquellas técnicas y dispositivos que han quedado obsoletos, optimizar el contenido, incorporar los últimos protocolos e intervenciones de cateterización y añadir un nuevo capítulo son imágenes que ayude al lector a interiorizar los conceptos. Se incluyen vídeos de ocho procedimientos, entre los que están los referidos al acceso de la arteria femoral y radial.

Packed with useful information, The Interventional Cardiac Catheterization Handbook, 4th Edition, by Drs. Morton J. Kern, Michael J. Lim, and Paul Sorajja, is the perfect hands-on resource for physicians, nurses, and technicians who need to understand and perform these complex procedures. Easy-to-read text, hundreds of clear images, and narrated videos from Dr. Kern ensure that health care workers at all levels have quick access to easily accessible guidelines on procedures and patient care. Features a wealth of quick-reference tables, and more than 500 images – making this handbook a must-have reference for physicians and staff members in every cath lab. Includes a chapter dedicated to interventional pharmacology. Includes new content on correction of mitral regurgitation with Mitra ClipTM, enhanced coverage of aortic valve stenosis with TAVR, expansion of biodegradable and drug-eluting stents, enhanced descriptions of lesion assessment, chronic total occlusion intervention, and radial access approach to intervention. Covers the latest treatment of mitral valve regurgitation and mitral stenosis, new procedural enhancements for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis, and chronic total occlusion intervention technique updates.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the clinical applications of coronary angiography techniques. Coronary MRA can be instrumental in the evaluation of congenital coronary artery anomalies, however, the complexity of advanced MR pulse sequences and strategies may be overwhelming to many. Coronary MR Angiography demystifies the art of coronary MRA by providing a text in plain language with clearly illustrated imaging steps and protocols. Designed to bridge the gap between radiology and cardiology, it is written for physicians and scientists planning to incorporate this technique into their research or practice.

Kohl (Cardio Mechano-Electric Feedback Lab, Oxford University) documents the role of mechano-electric feedback (MEF) in electrical and mechanical pathological remodeling of cardiac function. Sections cover sub-cellular mechanisms of cardiac MEF, effects of MEF on cardiac cellular electrophysiology, experimental manifestations of MEF in the heart, cardiac MEF in normal physiology, cardiac MEF as a pathogenic mechanism, MEF as a mechanism involved in therapeutic interventions, and the outlook for the future. B&w and color photos and medical images are included. Annotation: 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Why Critical Care Evolved METs? In early 2004, when Dr. Michael DeVita informed me that he was cons- ering a textbook on the new concept of Medical Emergency Teams (METs), I was surprised. At Presbyterian-University Hospital in Pittsburgh we int- duced this idea some 15 years ago, but did not think it was revolutionary enough to publish. This, even though, our fellows in critical care medicine training were all involved and informed about the importance of “C- dition C (Crisis),” as it was called to distinguish it from “Condition A (Arrest). ”We thought it absurd to intervene only after cardiac arrest had occurred,because most cases showed prior deterioration and cardiac arrest could be prevented with rapid team work to correct precluding problems. The above thoughts were logical in Pittsburgh, where the legendary Dr. Peter Safar had been working since the late 1950s on improving current resuscitation techniques, ?rst ventilation victims of apneic from drowning, treatment of smoke inhalation, and so on. This was followed by external cardiac compression upon demonstration of its ef?ciency in cases of unexpected sudden cardiac arrest. Dr. Safar devoted his entire professional life to improvement of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He and many others emphasized the importance of getting the CPR team to o- of-hospital victims of cardiac arrest as quickly as possible.

Here's a source of guidance on the analysis of the hemodynamic waveforms generated in the cardiac catheterization lab. It progresses from a review of basic monitoring principles and normal waveforms through an assessment of the waveform data associated with the full range of individual coronary diseases, providing the assistance needed to accurately interpret any findings encountered in practice. Its extremely clinically oriented approach makes it an ideal hands-on tool for any clinician involved in diagnosing cardiac problems using interventional cardiology.
