It is often suggested that the incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease could be much reduced or even eliminated if only people would stop smoking cigarettes and eat fewer high-cholesterol foods.
The overall scope of this new series will be to evolve an understanding of the genetic basis of (1) how early mesoderm commits to cells of a heart lineage that progressively and irreversibly assemble into a segmented, primary heart tube that can be remodeled into a four-chambered organ, and (2) how blood vessels are derived and assembled both in the heart and in the body.
A major need of all cardiologists and surgeons involved with the application of allograft tissue to cardiac surgical reconstructions is met by this unique atlas.
The motivation for this book was the recognition by two of us (RL and TL) that, despite our training as cardiologists, we had a limited understand- ing of many aspects of the surgical management of our patients.

Textbook of Angiology aims to provide the reader with a fully integrated view of medical and surgical aspects of both vascular and cardiovascular disease.
Electrocardiography is a mature discipline, so familiar to both doctors and patients that it's hardly noticed, one of those tests that have always been there, like the white count and hemoglobin, not something one has to think about much, or question.
The `Formation of the Heart and its Regulation` reviews in considerable detail the major events in heart development and their control via genes, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and other contributing elements.
Whether you are a hospice professional, relative, or volunteer, this book will be of value to you in servicing the patient or your loved one as they approach their transition.
Embark on a Heart-Healthy Journey Tailored for WomenImagine unlocking the secrets of cardiovascular well-being with a guide designed specifically for the unique heart health needs of women.
This volume, Cardiovascular Beta Adrenergic Responses, compiles the proceedings of a pivotal conference held in February 1968, sponsored by the UCLA School of Medicine and University of California Extension, with support from Ayerst Laboratories.
Las enfermedades reumáticas son una serie de alteraciones mórbidas en las cuales se involucra el aparato locomotor, muchas veces sin relación con causas traumáticas o de violencia, lo que hace presuponer factores de relación genética, metabólica, inflamatoria o degenerativa, entre muchos otras; sin embargo, como se analizará a lo largo de esta revisión, estos conceptos no son definitorios y probablemente servirán sólo al inicio para marcar la diferencia entre especialidades médicas interrelacionadas, como traumatología y ortopedia, y rehabilitación y medicina física.
This atlas is a comprehensive visual reference for the use of cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) containing photomicrographs, anatomic illustrations, tables, and charts paired with extensive legends and explanations that are supplemented by extensive research, peer-reviewed articles, and textbooks.
Valvular heart medicine revolves around the need to accurately identify locations of pathological structures and/or the interventional tools needed to manage that pathology.
This new edition of Medical Management of Heart Failure will provide the full spectrum of medical options, ICU management and rehabilitation, while also prepare the reader for the second volume of Comprehensive Management of Heart Failure by introducing the surgical options in heart failure from transplant to the more noninvasive procedures in the interventional radiology department.
The raison d'etre for a new atlas of congenital heart surgery is based on the reality that the specialty has undergone numerous changes in the last few years resulting in improved techniques and new operations.
This book covers all the major aspects associated with pathophysiological development of cardiac arrhythmias (covering enhanced or suppressed automaticity, triggered activity, or re-entry), from basic concepts through disease association, limitations of current pharmacotherapy and implant therapies and on-going trials and analysis of new biomarkers based on current knowledge of cellular interaction and signalling.
Since the introduction of coronary angiography, a key technique in understanding coronary artery disease, a number of paradigms regarding its study and interpretation have taken place.
Interventional cardiology has transitioned from angiographic subjective analysis of stenosis severity into assessment of plaque characteristics and objective assessment of stenosis severity.
