Diagnostic Pathology Cardiovascular

This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of experience and training. Covering all aspects of cardiovascular pathology, including new cardiac devices, molecular panels and genetics, the latest tumor classifications, up-to-date COVID-19 information, and imaging, this volume incorporates the most recent scientific and technical knowledge in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of all key issues relevant to today’s practice. Richly illustrated and easy to use, the third edition of Diagnostic Pathology: Cardiovascular is a visually stunning, one-stop resource for every practicing pathologist, resident, student, or fellow as an ideal day-to-day reference or as a reliable training resource. Covers all areas of cardiovascular pathology, organizing chapters by how specimens are most often encountered in practice—biopsy, explant and surgical specimens, and autopsy—as well as by anatomic site Contains significantly updated information throughout (text, images, illustrations, and references) including the latest World Health Organization and International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting tumor classifications, as well as new details related to staging and grading of tumors of the heart, and COVID-19 information Evaluates a new generation of cardiac devices in surgical and autopsy specimens in both images and text Includes new material on genetics and sudden cardiac death and cardiomyopathy, and recent recommended amyloid treatment therapies Features nearly 1,500 images, including carefully annotated histology and gross pathology photographs, vivid medical illustrations, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs to help practicing and in-training pathologists reach a confident diagnosis Employs consistently templated chapters, bulleted content, key facts, a variety of tables, annotated images, pertinent references, and an extensive index for quick, expert reference at the point of care

Cardiovascular Pathology, Fifth Edition provides a comprehensive and contemporary treatise on the pathology of cardiovascular diseases, combining presentations of detailed pathology of cardiovascular diseases coupled with discussions of contemporary insights into the etiology and pathogenesis of these conditions. Twenty-two chapters cover general topics, including cardiovascular genetics, heart failure, and transplantation, and specific congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases, therapeutic interventions, and forensic aspects. New chapters address the scope of practice and training in cardiovascular pathology, with a focus on major diagnostic approaches used in contemporary practice and research in cardiovascular pathology, and a perspective on the field of cardiovascular regenerative medicine linked to the basic pathobiology of cell-based therapy. Cardiovascular Pathology provides a unique combination of details of pathological anatomy essential for pathologists involved in the evaluation of cardiovascular specimens and cardiovascular diseases, and is an excellent reference for anyone interested in the natural history and therapeutic advances in the cardiovascular field. The book's content makes clear that cardiovascular pathologists will continue to have an important role in defining the impact of new therapeutic approaches on the outcomes of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Expanded coverage of diagnostic guidelines, standards and normal values A summary of cardiac catheterization laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests to guide pathologists in clinicopathological correlation Contemporary, all-inclusive guide to cardiovascular pathology for clinicians and researchers, as well as clinical residents and fellows in pathology, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and internal medicine In-depth coverage of all major cardiovascular disease processes, including atherosclerosis and other diseases of large vessels, systemic and pulmonary blood vessels, ischemic heart disease, myocardial diseases, valvular heart diseases, pericardial diseases, congenital heart disease and tumors of the cardiovascular system Each chapter provides comprehensive coverage including, as appropriate: Central Concept Figure, Definition, Epidemiology, Clinical Presentation, Pathogenesis, Molecular Genetics, Light and Electron Microscopy, Immunohistochemistry, Differential Diagnosis, Treatment and Potential Complications, and Bulleted Summary

In the last decade cardiac pathology has undergone a revolution, particularly in the fields of genetics and imaging. Practical Cardiac Pathology 3e is a combined atlas and text that is designed to assist pathologists in identifting the range of cardiovascular conditions that are found in both diagnostic and autopsy work.

Cardiac disorders are an exciting area of classic pathology and recently defined disease. Cardiac Pathology: A Guide to Current Practice discusses the various disorders and also provides a backdrop of developmental embryology, diagnostic imaging and current therapeutics. Cardiac Pathology: A Guide to Current Practice aims to deliver in bench-book format a comprehensive overview of cardiac pathology that is relevant to those practicing in surgical pathology and autopsy arenas. Clear illustrations of the common styles of dissection are provided along with the normal anatomy and histology. Chapters cover the approach to the autopsy heart, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, sudden death, valvular disease, transplant pathology, cardiomyopathy, cardiac neoplasia and congenital heart disease with a clear analysis of diagnostic criteria (macroscopic, microscopic and genetic) for both common cardiac diseases and those of rare format. The text is accompanied by high-quality macroscopic and microscopic images and references to other in-depth specialty data sources. Although aimed in particular at pathologists, Cardiac Pathology: A Guide to Current Practice should also be of value to cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and other professions allied to medicine.

The second edition of Practical Cardiovascular Pathology provides an essential text and colour atlas helping all general pathologists to identify a wide range of cardiovascular conditions rapidly and accurately in both their diagnostic and autopsy work.With many new conditions explained, and numerous new illustrations, the second edition of this hi
