Full Description
Advanced Cardiovascular Medicine presents the latest advances in cardiology, covering all subspecialties including congenital heart disease, left main disease, heart failure, conservative medical therapy, surgical cardiology and much more. It is a comprehensive guide to this rapidly developing field of medicine.
The book helps students and practitioners comprehend the indications for cardiovascular diseases, the techniques of diagnoses and treatments, and the practical application and interpretation of cardiovascular computed tomography, echocardiography, radiography and nuclear imaging. It discusses in detail, surgical techniques for the treatment of acquired and congenital heart diseases, and vascular diseases of the aorta.
Advanced Cardiovascular Medicine places emphasis on technological advances which have improved the quality of surgical interventions in order to achieve better outcomes, making this book essential reading for both trainee and practising cardiologists.
