Since publication of the First Edition, advances in the diagnosis
and prevention and treatment strategies of the vulnerable plaque
have necessitated this greatly expanded second edition. With
several new chapters covering mainly diagnostic and treatment
options, The Handbook of the Vulnerable Plaque
will remain the benchmark text for all interventional
cardiologists treating vulnerable patients by providing the
physician with... more...
Given that for centuries, the standard tool to understand diseases
in tissues was the microscope and that its major limitation was
that only excised tissue could be used, recent technology now
permits the examination of diseased tissue in vivo. Optical
coherence tomography (OCT) has promising potential when applied to
coronary artery disease. OCT has the capability to identify
coronary plaque and to distinguish between plaques that are stable
and... more...
The prevalence of coronary artery disease is increasing due to
rising rates of obesity and the fact that a greater number of
people are living longer. Coronary Atherosclerosis: Current
Management and Treatment addresses this leading cause of
death worldwide.
Atherosclerosis has a broad range of disease manifestations
depending on the degree of the stenosis and the functional status
of the coronary plaque. This volume, written by a... more...
Recently, sirolimus-eluting stents implantation has been shown to
decrease restenosis markedly in selected patients. Nonetheless, the
effects of SES implantation in complex, unselected patients, such
as those commonly treated in daily practice ('the real world'),
remains largely unknown. This book comprehensively evaluates the
impact of SES implantation on the outcomes of patients treated in
the real world of interventional cardiology. The authors... more...
Though still in its infancy, the revascularization of damaged
cardiac cells with transplanted cells is currently being
transformed from a research concept to a clinical tool. Drawing on
information from experimental studies and first clinical trials,
Handbook of Cardiovascular Cell Transplantation explores the use of
a number of different cell types to repair damaged myocardium
and/or coronary vessels and to induce angiogenesis.
Interdisciplinary in... more...
While all interventional cardiologists have access to pharmacopeial
texts and databases and are aware of the growing number of
pharmacological agents in the armamentarium, questions arise as to
the ideal agent or combination of agents in differing patient
situations.
This superb text offers the reader coverage of all the major
pharmacological therapies used in treating the cath lab patient
from the practical, personal perspective of those actively... more...
