Product Description:
Statins are the so-called "wonder drugs" widely
prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels that claim to offer
unparalleled protection against heart disease. Many experts claim
that they are completely safe and that they are also capable of
preventing a whole series of other conditions. This groundbreaking
study exposes the truth behind the hype surrounding statins and
reveals a number of crucial facts, including that high cholesterol
levels do not cause heart disease; that high-fat diets—saturated or
otherwise—do not affect blood cholesterol levels; and that for most
men and all women the benefits offered by statins are negligible at
best. Other data is also provided that shows that statins have many
more side affects than is often acknowledged. This hard-hitting
survey also points a finger at the powerful pharmaceutical industry
and an unquestioning medical profession as perpetrators of the
largely facetious concepts of “good” and “bad” cholesterol that are
designed to convince millions of people to spend billions on statins.
With clarity and wit, this appeal to common sense and scientific
fact debunks common assumptions on what constitutes a healthy
lifestyle and diet, as well as the idea that there is a miracle cure
for heart disease. |

Product Description:
This new edition incorporates several changes and
additions; in particular, there have been rapid advances made in the
understanding of the active nature and roles of the endothelium, and
this has resulted in the addition of a new chapter on endothelial
cell biology. Many other areas have been updated, eg response of
heart cells to ischaemia; role of integrins; myogenic mechanisms and
the mechanisms underlying many other vascular contractile responses.
New figures have been added and references updated. Finally, in
reaction to the recent GMC induced changes in medical education, a
problem-based element has been incorporated in the book. |

Product Description:
Cardiovascular disease refers to the class of
diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and
veins). While the term technically refers to any disease that
affects the cardiovascular system, it is usually used to refer to
those related to atherosclerosis (arterial disease). Chronic heart
failure (CHF) has emerged as a major world-wide epidemic. This new
and important book gathers the latest research in cardiovascular
disease with a focus on such topics as: drug-induced valvular heart
disease; cardiac pacing and cognition; oral bacteria in the hearts
of patients with valvular disease; bicuspid aortic valve in
athletes; chronic persistent infections as a risk factor for
ischemic heart disease; rheumatic valvulopathy; shared
susceptibility genes of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular
disease; and, others. |

Product Description:
Anesthesia for Congenital Heart Disease will
provide a state of the art summary of the many changes occurring in
this rapidly evolving field over the last decade. The unique value
of this book is that all chapters are written by leaders in the
field of congenital cardiac anesthesia, who perform large numbers of
cases clinically, and contribute important knowledge to the research
literature, both clinical and basic science. A wide range of
contributors from all of the major congenital heart surgery programs
in North America give a broad range of perspectives not seen in
previous texts in this field. This text will be the leading book in
this subspeciality - the most comprehensive, detailed and specific,
from the perspective of multiple institutions. Emphasis on new and
emerging developments in anesthetic drugs and techniques occurs in
each chapter. New chapters on subjects that have never before been
addressed in a textbook of pediatric cardiac anesthesia include
cardiac catheterization laboratory anesthesia, computers and
technology, neurologic monitoring, bleeding and coagulation,
approach to the teenager and adult, approach to the premature
newborn, the inflammatory response, regional anesthesia and pain
management, airway and ventilatory management, dysrhythmia
management, non-cardiac surgery and cardiac magnetic resonance
imaging; and research, teaching and administration.

Product Description:
Doppler ultrasound is now a widely used and important first-line
investigative tool that provides a non-invasive way of assessing
problems with blood flow. This book provides the necessary
understanding of the physical principles of blood flow in the body
to produce clear and diagnostically secure scans. Blood flow is a
dynamic process that is affected by many factors and this book looks
in detail at how these factors affect any particular Doppler
waveform. Emphasis is given to the practical application of the
principles used in obtaining and interpreting Doppler scans in
clinical practice and much use is made of clear, explanatory line
diagrams and real Doppler images to aid understanding throughout. |
