Excerpt: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a form of congenital heart defect that enables blood flow between the left and right atria via the interatrial septum. The interatrial septum is the tissue that divides the right and left atria. Without this septum, or if there is a defect in this septum, it is possible for blood to travel from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, or vice versa. Irrespective of interatrial communication bi-directions, this results in the mixing of arterial and venous blood. The mixing of arterial and venous blood may or may not be hemodynamically significant, if even clinically significant. This mixture of blood may or may not result in what is known as a "shunt". The amount of shunting present, if any, dictates hemodynamic significance (see Pathophysiology below). A "right-to-left-shunt" typically poses the more dangerous scenario (se...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=667634 ... Read more

Product Description
Abstract: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare, idiopathic, life-threatening disease of late pregnancy and early puerperium, occurring in patients with previously healthy hearts. Risk factors include multiparity, age > 30 years, African American race, multiple pregnancies, obesity, hypertension, and toxemia. Signs and symptoms of PPCM resemble systolic heart failure, and it is diagnosed by exclusion. An echocardiogram typically reveals an ejection fraction of < 45% and/or fractional shortening of < 30%, along with a left ventricular end-diastolic dimension > 2.7 cm/m2 of body surface area. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for a successful outcome. Management is similar to other forms of systolic heart failure. Patients with PPCM are at high risk of thromboembolism, and therefore anticoagulation therapy should be considered. The prognosis is variable, ranging from complete recovery, to worsening heart failure requiring cardiac transplantation, or death. Future pregnancies are often discouraged because of the high mortality rate and risk of recurrence.

Product Description
The treatment of patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy is still problematic. The choice of revascularization of these patients especially who have different degrees of viability is not widely implemented due to confusion about its benefit. This work aimed to evaluate prospectively the response of left ventricular function to low as well as high dose dobutamine in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy showing different degrees of viability to see if there is animproved resting left ventricular ejection fraction after coronary angioplasty. This book is intended primarily to the interventional cardiologists,general cardiologists and internists who are interested in this subject. ... Read more
