Product Description

A complete pocket guide to diagnosing and treating the full range of heart problems

4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW
"This is an excellent counterpart to larger references (including Hurst's the Heart, 12th edition, Fuster et al. (McGraw-Hill, 2008), as the original intent of the authors). The chapters are short, succinct, and well written. The handbook makes excellent use of tables, algorithms, diagrams, and figures to synthesize key aspects of cardiovascular disease and care. Treatment recommendations take into account current ACC/AHA Clinical Practice Guidelines and are very specific about the indications for therapy. The chapters are written by established experts and are well referenced. Its portability makes it an instant rapid-access resource, invaluable for physicians doing bedside rounds"--Doody's Review Service

Summarizing the clinical sections of Hurst's the Heart, 12e, this point-of-care resource covers the key points of cardiovascular pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment in a quick-access presentation, making it essential for rounds, at the bedside, or on the wards.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

  • Updated information on cardiovascular drugs highlights the latest indications, important data, and side effects
  • Full coverage of vital topics such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease in the elderly
  • Current US and European practice guidelines and treatment protocols help reinforce clinical decision-making
  • Translation of genetic basis of arrhythmias to clinical practice provides a solid framework for diagnostic techniques

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book
This was our assigned text for the cardio portion of pathophysiology course and it is great. Covers everything and is an easy read. Two thumbs up.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book but needs newer edition
This is a really top-notch book for med students learning cardiovascular pathophys.... I've found it the most helpful of all the resources I have. I only wish there were a more recent edition. I don't know enough yet to know if this is true, but I'm guessing that some of the treatment guidelines and other information may have changed since 2006/2007. It would be awesome if they could publish a 2011 edition!

Editorial Review

Product Description
To the adult cardiologist, the language of congenital heart disease can be confusing and the spectrum of disease bewildering. Many find the prospect of meeting an adult with complex congenital heart disease in the emergency department disturbing, and rightly so. This book aims to dispel confusion and equip cardiology trainees, general cardiologists, and acute medicine physicians with a sound understanding of the principles of the physiology and management of adult congenital heart disease, so that they can treat emergencies and recognize the need for referral to a specialist unit.

With easy-to-understand diagrams and key clinical points, this handbook provides both rapid reference for use when the clinical need arises and also an insight into the basic principles of congenital heart disease, giving the reader a good grounding in the care of the adult with congenital heart disease. ...

      Wonderful and user friendly book!!! just amazing and clear topic very well explained.
      I'm not a cardiologist but with the Hurst, I'm improving a lot!!!! thanks!

      5-0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Comprehensive Reference
      I am a pediatrician, not an internist or cardiologist, so this book is not of particular interest to me professionally. However, I am of an age where the cardiovascular system presents personal health issues for me and other family members. I am very satisfied with this latest edition as an in-depth reference.

      When my late father, an electrical engineer, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure about 10 years ago, he bought an earlier edition of this book and read everything relevant to his condition. His cardiologist was impressed with is knowledge and had to deal with him as a knowledgeable and engaged patient who could converse and question. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent option
Braunwald's Heart Disease is the bible or the basic book in cardiology, and I agree with Cardiologist and other doctors who recommended to me. It's as complete as you can imagine, and you won't believe how simple to read it is, so easy to understand, so clear, and honestly you can find anything, literally anything about cardiology on this book. It's so much worth it. It's updated and honestly I believe it's one of the basic books every medicine student should have.

5-0 out of 5 stars great quality
bought it used, but great condition. The book itself is good if you planning to do cardiology or are already doing cardiology.
Not a general internal medicine book!

1-0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate
Very inaccurate re ME (CFIDS). Advises exercise which can cause severe worsening of the disease.Conflates ME (CFIDS) and the symptom of chronic fatigue. No mention of Dr. Lerner's studies of cardiomyopathy or Prof. Leonard's publication on cardiac disease mortality in ME. When ME patients die of heart disease, it is, on average, at an age 25 years younger than that of the whole population of people who die of heart disease.

5-0 out of 5 stars It's magnificient for all people involved in cardiology.
I am working as a researcher and a physician, and sometimes teach students. Although this book is not research-oriented, authors intend to incorporate recent products of basic medicines, such as molecular biology, molecular genetics, basic electrophysiology (e.g. ion channels), pharmacology, and so on. If you want to know what has already been proved and clarified about the cardiological disease you are interested in, this book will help you. Certainly any single volume cannot cover all the things in this field, this book will give you the idea on the key point of the diseases. Certainly, this book is also useful for practitioners. The book gives you a lot of results of large clinical studies, and even when you lose your way, you can also start with the basic pathophysiology of the disease.

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!
I'm from Brazil. I bought Braunwald's Heart Disease 8th ed in december 2008. Shipping was predicted to arrive in january 20th. Just in time, in the exact day, the book was home. Moreover, it's an elegant, precise, up to dated text, with lots of images and tables, with excellent writing. I, definitely recommend it to every cardiology student or practioner.
Thanks Amazon, for the great job! ... Read more

Product Description
Between 1-2% of the adult population have chronic heart failure, with 6-10% of people over the age of 65 years suffering from the disorder. While the age adjusted incidence of chronic heart failurehas remained stable over the last 20 years, its prevalence has increased with over one million cases in the United Kingdom alone.

This practical pocketbook provides a guide for healthcare professionals - doctors, nurses and technical staff - who manage patients with chronic heart failure. Each chapter is written by a leader in that particular area of the treatment or investigation of chronic heart failureand provides a concise but comprehensive review of each area. As a whole the book provides a guide to aetiology, epidemiology, physiology and pathophysiology, and investigation and treatment of chronic heart failure close up . Further chapters address chronic heart failurewith preserved systolic function and complex congenital causes of chronic heart failure. As chronic heart failure remains an often lethal disorder, one chapter focuses on the management of patients with advanced chronic heart failure with a section on end of life situations. Each chapter is able to 'stand alone' with key points at the beginning of each chapter and diagrams and flow charts to illustrate these key points. ... Read more

Product Description
Pediatric cardiology is celebrating in the 1990s the 50thanniversary of the beginnings of the age of therapy.
This informal `history' describes how the discipline grew from the eraof pathologic anatomy to the dawn of therapy, the beginnings of closedheart surgery between 1939 and 1945. That dawn ushered in a remarkablehalf century of change and growth, leading from clinicophysiologiccorrelations through the start of open heart surgery in the 1950s. Thetext celebrates some of the achievements of this vivid and heroic age,and describes how, in the mid 1970s, new surgical and medicalapproaches, including prostaglandins and Doppler echocardiography, ledto successful cardiac treatment in infancy, the `infant era'.Interventional cardiology and the study of childhood arrhythmiasbegan. Now, in the 1990s, a new era emphasising molecular biology andcardiac development is growing from the tools and concepts of thepast.
The four eras have focused on pathologic anatomy, clinicophysiologiccorrelations and surgery, heart problems in infancy, and now thedeveloping heart. In each era there have been advances in the fourdomains of pediatric cardiology, the heart before birth, the normalheart, heart disease and defects, and preventive cardiology. Growth inknowledge has been both episodic and dramatic, yet not a picture ofunalloyed achievement. The later chapters discuss some of the problemsbeginning to be recognised in the new and current `developmental era'.
The pioneers of pediatric cardiology, both men and women, are morethan eponyms, for each used in new and original ways the tools andconcepts available in their era. The interaction of tools and conceptsis a theme in this book. Just as the tool of the stethoscope was vitalin delineating the clinical profile of ventricular septal defect andpatent ductus, the fluoroscope played a role in developing the conceptof the Blalock Taussig shunt. Pioneers also include patients and theirfamilies, and the book includes some discussion of what little isknown of childhood and of the child with heart disease in the fourdifferent eras.
This is a brief overview of the growth of knowledge of children'shearts from before William Harvey until our own time, and includesreferences to histories of cardiac surgery and to collections ofclassic cardiac papers. By its emphasis on the child as the centralhistoric figure, and on the interaction of tools and concepts in thegrowth of knowledge, the text provides a celebratory approach to the50th anniversary of modern pediatric cardiology.

A congenital heart defect (CHD) is a defect in the structure of the heart and great vessels of a new-born. Most heart defects either obstruct blood flow in the heart or vessels near it or cause blood to flow through the heart in an abnormal pattern, although other defects affecting heart rhythm (such as long QT syndrome) can also occur. Heart defects are among the most common birth defects and are the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths. This book presents the latest research in the field from around the world. ...

Product Description
Disease of the heart valves is increasingly common and frequently requires treatment, usually a combination of drug therapy and surgery to repair or replace the valve. The majority of valvular heart disease occurs in older people, and is due to degenerative disease of the valve tissue. Understanding how to diagnose, investigate and manage patients with valvular heart disease is a core skill for a wide range of doctors, including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, general physicians, general surgeons and anaesthetists. Valvular heart disease can also occur in younger patients and can be particularly challenging to diagnose and treat in pregnant women. New advances in cardiology mean a range of valvular heart disease can be treated with percutaneous procedures avoiding the need for full cardiac surgery.

This unique text covers all aspects of valvular heart disease, including normal valve anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, modes of investigation, assessment and treatment of specific valve lesions, valve surgery (both medical and surgical aspects), treatment in pregnancy or during non-cardiac surgery, and the devastating complication of infective endocarditis, in an easy-to-read, accessible format. It contains over 150 high quality pictures and illustrations, providing contemporary diagnostic imaging (including conventional radiography, echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging) to demonstrate the importance of imaging in diagnosis and treatment. Individual valve lesions are reviewed in turn with specific indications for intervention in line with current European guidelines. The handbook complements the curriculum for specialist training in the UK, and is relevant to candidtaes in preparation for accreditation with the British Society of Echocardiography. ... Read more

Product Description
Heart failure is an important and ever expanding sub-specialty of cardiology. Many health care professional bodies are now developing specialist expertise in heart failure. This is true for cardiologists in training, consultant cardiologists, care of the elderly and general physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists and specialist nurses. With advances in medical therapy, the prognosis of the condition has improved dramatically. Whereas once heart failure was a pre-terminal diagnosis, now for many it is treatable. However, some patients remain symptomatic and at high risk of death depite maximal medical therapy. These patients can benefit from a range of novel device therapies. Of course for those who remain symptomatic despite optimal treatment, cardiac transplantation remains an option.
This book comprehensively covers all aspects necessary to manage a patient with heart failure. It gives simple, clear advice on the diagnosis, investigation and treatment options available, highlighting the current evidence-base. The chapters provide concise and objective information to guide all health care professionals involved in modern day multi-disciplinary management of the syndrome. The book is set out logically to mirror the patient journey in heart failure.
This book is the first practical manual of heart failure management that addresses the needs of all the health care professionals involved. The ultimate aim of this book is to facilitate the practice of optimal evidence-based management for heart failure patients. ... Read more
