by Jagat Narula, Computed Tomography Imaging In 2012 An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics Books available in PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Docs and Mobi Format. Download Computed Tomography Imaging In 2012 An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics books, Cardiac CT obtains information about coronary arteries, great arteries and veins, and heart valves. It shows the location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries and helps detect coronary artery disease at an early stage, which neither traditional imaging techniques nor cardiac testing can do. Over the last decade technologic advances in CT angiography have been made at a rapid rate, and the new applications and refinements of existing technology continue to be made. This issue will help practicing cardiologists to keep up with the latest technology in this important and swiftly moving field.

by Gagan Sahni, Cardiovascular Disease In Pregnancy An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics E Book Books available in PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Docs and Mobi Format. Download Cardiovascular Disease In Pregnancy An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics E Book books, Pregnancy stresses the heart and circulatory system. During pregnancy, blood volume increases by 30 to 50 percent. The amount of blood the heart pumps each minute also increases by 30 to 50 percent, and heart rate increases as well. These changes cause the heart to work harder, as do labor and delivery. This issue covers diagnosis and treatment of cardiac symptoms and cardiac emergencies during pregnancy.

Download Percutaneous Interventions In Women An Issue Of Interventional Cardiology Clinics E Book books, Heart disease is the leading cause of death among US women over the age of 65, resulting in more deaths than all forms of cancer combined. Women are less likely to survive heart attacks than are men, possibly because symptoms in women may differ and may be less recognizable. In addition, women consistently tend to have worse clinical outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions than do men. For these reasons, an issue on percutaneous interventions in women is timely.

by James A. Goldstein, Faces Of Right Ventricular Failure An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics Books available in PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Docs and Mobi Format. Download Faces Of Right Ventricular Failure An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics books, Although heart failure typically begins with the left side of the heart, it is also important for cardiologists to understand right-sided heart failure, which is the inability of the right side of the heart to adequately pump venous blood into the pulmonary circulation. Right heart failure causes a back-up of fluid in the body, resulting in swelling and edema. This issue covers the normal right ventricle (RV), imaging of the RV, RV failure in a variety of settings, and tratmen tof RV failure, including interventions.
