Chronic Total Occlusions: A Guide to Recanalization By
2009 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 1405157038 | PDF | 9 MB
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are common, and found in approximately one third of patients with significant coronary artery disease who undergo angiography. Over the past 20 years, CTO lesions have represented the most difficult anatomy for treatment - with lower success rates and higher complication rates. Chronic Total Occlusions provides interventionalists insight into the world of CTOs with introductory chapters that describe the pathology and indications of CTOs along with a review of clinical trials. Imaging modalities including CT angiography, magnetic navigation wire, and IVUS guided recanalization of CTO are also introduced, together with information on new wires technology and devices for CTOs. With numerous illustrations of these devices, technologies, and strategies to improve the CTO success rate, this clinical guide, headed up by Ron Waksman, will prove to be the ideal companion for interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons who are required to perform angioplasty and coronary stenting.

2004 | 255 Pages | ISBN: 0727917234 | PDF | 2 MB
Heart failure is a condition that often results in chronic tiredness and shortness of breath. It also requires complex nursing and medical treatment, especially after a hospital admission, which is all too frequent for persons with heart failure.This book describes and discusses the latest research concerning the benefits of having specially trained nurses manage the care of patients with heart failure after they have been discharged from hospital to their own home. Leading nurses and doctors from around the world discuss their experiences with this type of innovative and effective care program.Building upon these experiences, the book also contains a practical guide to developing this type of care program into a fully functional service that provides quality care to those patients admitted to hospital with heart failure.Content: Chapter 1 Increased Health Care Utilisation and Costs: Heart Failure in the 21st Century (pages 1-26): Simon StewartChapter 2 State of the Art Treatment for Chronic Heart Failure (pages 27-44): Simon Stewart and John McMurrayChapter 3 Specialist Nurse Intervention in Chronic Heart Failure: The Evidence to Date (pages 45-66): Simon StewartChapter 4 Glasgow Heart Failure Liaison Service: A Model for Future Services (pages 67-84): Lynda BlueChapter 5 Establishing National Heart Failure Services: Can we Afford not to?
