Produktbeschreibung

The book will be written by the experts in the disease including imaging, interventional cardiology and surgical valve expertise. The book has five main sections:Aortic Valve DiseaseMitral Valve DiseaseTricuspid Valve DiseasePulmonic Valve DiseaseMultimodality ImagingThe main objectives of the book are:1- to provide the main guidelines to clinicians on how to identify and diagnose valvular heart disease2- to provide an overview of what the near future will bring in the diagnosis, prevention and risk stratification of patients to catheter versus surgical approaches3- to outline the possible implications for medical therapies in slowing progression of calcific aortic valve disease and myxomatous mitral valve disease
