Antiarrhythmic therapy; Antithrombotic therapy in cardiovascular disorders; Aortic disease; Arrhythmias - atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter; Arrhythmias - bradyarrhythmias; Arrhythmias - supraventricular; Arrhythmias - ventricular; Cardiac failure; Cardiac surgery - valvular heart surgery; Cardiac surgery - coronary artery surgery; Cardiac transplantation; Cardiac tumours; Cardiomyopathy; Cardiovascular investigations - cardiac catheterization; Cardiovascular investigations - echocardiography; Cardiovascular investigations - radionuclide investigations; Cardiovascular investigations - the electrocardiograph and exercise stress testing; Cardiovascular manifestations of systemic disease; Congenital heart disease - an introduction; Congenital heart disease - atrial septal defect; Congenital heart disease - cyanotic conditions; Congenital heart disease - miscellaneous acyanotic conditions; Congenital heart disease - ventricular septal defect; Diseases of the pericardium; Hypertension; Infective endocardiatis; Ischaemic heart disease - angina; Ischaemic heart disease - myocardial infarction; Lipids and heart disease; Pacemakers; Peripheral vascular disease; Secondary prevention of heart disease; Stroke and cardiovascular disease; Syncope; Valve disease; Venous and pulmonary thromboembolism.
This book provides a synopsis of cardiovascular disease which is of value to postgraduates sitting for higher qualifications, and to final year medical students as well as qualified cardiologists wishing to update their knowledge.
Topics of current controversy are highlighted and subjects are presented in a uniform, systematic format to encourage the reader to adopt a problem-based approach to clinical scenarios.
Taking a problem based approach, this book provides a synopsis of cardiovascular disease.
