In patients with coronary artery disease, surgical revascu- larization with arterial or venous bypass grafts not only relieves symptoms, but also prolongs life.
Major advances have been made in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis, the disease that still affects more than 50 percent of the population in the highly industrialized countries.
This book reviews the basic knowledge about the cardiomyopathies and re-enforces the well-known definitions and classification of cardiomyopathies and specific heart muscle diseases, respectively.
Die Praktische Duplexsonographie ist nicht als Konkurrenz zu umfangreichen Lehrbüchern der Doppler-, B-Bild- und Duplexsonographie, sondern speziell für die tägliche Praxis des Niedergelassenen gedacht.
