Product Description
In the past few years it has become clear that left ventriculardysfunction, even of severe degree, may be reversible after coronaryrevascularization in some patients. As a result, myocardial viabilityhas captured the imagination of researchers and clinicians seeking tounravel the cellular and subcellular mechanisms and define appropriatediagnostic modalities. These diagnostic modalities include: cardiaccatheterization, positron-emission tomography, magnetic resonanceimaging, two-dimensional echocardiography and single-photon imaging.This book, for the first time, brings together a diverse array ofinformation in a comprehensive and concise fashion using a template often chapters written by experts in the field. It will be requiredreading for cardiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists,cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists and basic researchersand their trainees who are involved in the management of patients withcoronary artery disease in whom myocardial viability is a clinicallyrelevant issue. ...

Chapters: Myocardial Infarction. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 101. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, is the interruption of blood supply to part of the heart, causing heart cells to die. This is most commonly due to occlusion (blockage) of a coronary artery following the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, which is an unstable collection of lipids (fatty acids) and white blood cells (especially macrophages) in the wall of an artery. The resulting ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and oxygen shortage, if left untreated for a sufficient period of time, can cause damage or death (infarction) of heart muscle tissue (myocardium). Classical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction include sudden chest pain (typically radiating to the left arm or left side of the neck), shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, sweating, and anxiety (often described as a sense of impending doom). Women may experience fewer typical symptoms than men, most commonly shortness of breath, weakness, a feeling of indigestion, and fatigue. Approximately one quarter of all myocardial infarctions are silent, without chest pain or other symptoms. Among the diagnostic tests available to detect heart muscle damage are the electrocardiogram, chest X-ray and various blood tests. The most often used markers are the creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) fraction and the troponin levels. On the basis of the ECG, a distinction is made between ST elevation MI (STEMI) or non-ST elevation MI (non-STEMI). Immediate treatment for suspected acute myocardial infarction includes oxygen, aspirin, and sublingual nitroglycerin. If further pain relief is needed, morphine sulfate should be avoid. Recent research has sh...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20556798 ... Read more

Product Description
Numerous new and important findings relating to the reconstruction of disturbed circulatory conditions in the coronary area are reported in this book. Fundamental aspects of therapeutic and prophylactic possibilities are covered in detail. Recommendations are then made to practitioners and clinicians for their everyday work. Critical standards for the indications and risks of the recommended procedures are given. Particular emphasis is laid on the possibilities for revascularization by means of dissolution of blood thrombi. The book aims to present top-level guidance to the pros and cons of reconstructive measures in coronary disorders. ... Read more

Product Description
This book presents a personal viewpoint of the relationship between the occlusive coronary thrombus and acute myocardial infarction based on more than forty years of morphological studies. Most contributions published so far look at only one aspect of ischemic heart disease generally investigated by one method. They ignore the interrelations of all variables which play a role. By contrast, this volume takes a "new" approach and stimulates a critical revision of current thought while suggesting new theoretical avenues of approach. ... Read more
