Colucci; Edited by: Eugene Braunwald Retail Price: $129.00 Cardiotext Price: $126.42 Note: Click here for new edition - Availability: Product Information: ISBN-13: 9781573402132 ISBN-10: 1573402133 Publisher: CURRENT MEDICINE, INC Format: Hardcover, 310 pages Pub Date: 01/2005 Edition Number: 4 Sorry, this product is not available for purchase Synopsis Now in its fourth edition, the Atlas of Heart Failure provides a comprehensive up-to-date overview of normal cardiac function, the mechanisms of dysfunction in heart failure, and the therapeutic approaches that are available to manage the syndrome. The first two chapters provide a state-of-art review of the mechanisms that regulate normal myocardial function, beginning with molecular and cellular events in the cardiomyocyte and progressing to the level of tissue-organ mechanics and systemic circulatory regulation. Chapters 3 to 6 present the pathophysiology of heart failure by addressing the etiology of the syndrome, the molecular and cellular basis of myocardial failure, the structural and functional effects of myocardial remodeling, and the critical roles of the circulatory system and neurohumoral mechanisms in the pathophysiology of heart failure. Chapters 7 to 14 are devoted to the clinical management of patients with heart failure. These chapters provide a timely survey of the evidence base for the use of diuretics, digitalis, and inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system, including aldosterone antagonists and beta-blockers. Also presented are descriptions of new therapeutic approaches such as the use of stem cells, cardiac transplantation, and new mechanical devices. Finally, two syndrome-specific chapters address the approach to patients with unstable heart failure or diastolic dysfunction, respectively. Designed to provide a detailed and comprehensive visual exposition of all aspects of cardiac function and dysfunction, the Atlas of Heart Failure contains several hundred images, each accompanied by detailed captions, carefully selected by expert authors, and reviewed by the editor.
