Cardio-Vascular Diseases (Paperback)

Product Description: Cardiovascular disease affects, and often cuts short, millions of lives every year—and very few doctors have had as much success as Dr. ValentÍn Fuster in treating this widespread scourge. For years, U.S. presidents and world leaders have sought Dr. Fuster's expertise and advice—and now he offers it to a wide audience.

Dr. Fuster knows it isn't easy putting your health first—to reach and maintain an ideal weight, to quit smoking, and to conquer stress and depression . . . all the behaviors and alterations necessary to keep cardiovascular disease at bay. In The Heart Manual, the legendary physician gets to the core of many of today's most important health issues, and offers solid, easy-to-follow tips and advice on how to better the quality of your life and transform cardiovascular disease into a manageable ailment.

The Heart Manual: My Scientific Advice for Eating Better, Feeling Better, and Living a Stress-Free Life Now (Paperback)

Product Description: The treatment of hypertension is now evolving into a decision-making process of ever greater complexity. Not only has the range of drugs available increased but so too has our knowledge of the diversity of individual patients' responsiveness to therapy, and the need to tailor their treatment with reference to a wide variety of additional factors. In order to provide effective patient care, the clinician needs to be aware of all the options available, but also of the evidence supporting their use and the extent to which that evidence justifies the choices made. In this volume, leading authorities in their fields draw on the available evidence to provide answers to a series of key clinical questions facing the clinician treating hypertension.These include questions of definition; who do we treat, and when? Should we treat pre-hypertension? How does the choice of therapy change in the presence of comorbidities such as obesity, ischemic heart disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, diabetes or cerebrovascular disease? What is the optimal treatment of women in pregnancy?

Evidence-based Management of Hypertension (Hardcover)

Product Description: Increasing evidence suggests overt and subclinical hyperthyroidism are associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This work prospectively investigated the hypothesis that poor outcome may be related to persisting cardiovascular abnormalities, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF). Cardiovascular symptoms, signs and haemodynamic disturbances were common in overt hyperthyroidism and persisted both during and after effective antithyroid therapy. AF was more prevalent in overt hyperthyroidism and persisted during and after effective antithyroid therapy. Cardiac autonomic function was abnormal in hyperthyroidism, persisting during treatment, but correcting after restoration of euthyroidism. An excess mortality was noted in the hyperthyroid cohort with presence of AF at recruitment, increasing age, male sex, and known vascular disease associated with it. Amiodarone induced hyperthyroidism (AIH) is a challenging condition.

The Cardiovascular Consequences of Hyperthyroidism (Paperback)

Product Description: Early detection of sub-clinical autonomic dysfunction is of vital importance in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) for the prevention of subsequent serious adverse consequences. Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) is now regarded as the earliest indicator of cardiovascular dysregulation in DM. HRV has traditionally been quantified using linear measures, which describe the magnitude of RR interval oscillations, but are insufficient to characterise complex heart rate dynamics. While HRV is mostly mediated by parasympathetic nervous system, beat-to-beat blood pressure recordings may provide information regarding sympathetic activity. A variety of novel measures has been developed to quantify non-linear features of cardiovascular signals, providing information on the complexity of the dynamical system involved in the genesis of these short-term fluctuations. In this book, it is demonstrated that novel non-linear methods are often more sensitive to autonomic dysregulation than linear methods and therefore may improve the diagnostic power of cardiovascular variability analysis for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in DM.

Diagnosis of Cardio-Vascular Diseases (Paperback)

Product Description: The development of the heart and vessels during embryogenesis depends on the complex interplay of various cell types and growth factors. The implementation of molecular tools has enabled us to analyze early steps in cardiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Furthermore the introduction of transgenic and knock-out techniques in mice, and the miniaturization of physiologic measurements to the mouse level has fundamentally changed our knowledge. Pathophysiology can be unraveled at the molecular level. The implications of various stimuli on specific membrane receptors can be analyzed. In response to receptor activation, interacting intracellular signaling pathways can activate or block transcription factors.
