The Encyclopedia of Heart Diseases is an accurate and reliable source of in-depth information on the diseases that kill more than 12 million individuals worldwide each year. In fact, cardiovascular diseases are more prevalent than the combined incidence of all forms of cancer, diabetes, asthma and leukemia. In one volume, this Encylopedia thoroughly covers these ailments and also includes in-depth analysis of less common and rare heart conditions to round out the volume's scope. Researchers, clinicians, and students alike will all find this resource an invaluable tool for quick reference before approaching the primary literature. * Coverage of more than 200 topics, including: applied pharmacology of current and experimental cardiac drugs, gene therapy, MRI, electron-beam CT, PET scan put in perspective, cardiac tests costs and justification, and new frontiers in cardiovascular research * More than 150 helpful figures and illustrations! * Dr. Khan is a well-published and respected expert in heart and heart diseases

This book presents and discusses current research in the study of cardiovascular disorders. Topics discussed include cardiac rehabilitation in women; effects of exercise on the prevention and rehabilitation of diastolic heart failure; cardiac rehabilitation in children with congenital heart disease; prenatal diagnosis of congenital fetal heart disease; single ventricle anatomy, physiology, repair and outcome; cardiac tumors; pulmonary hypertension in the down syndrome population; oxidative stress and heart failure; right ventricular failure in cardiac surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting for chronic and acute heart failure.

Cardiovascular disease refers to the class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. This book gathers the latest research in cardiovascular disease with a focus on such topics as: drug-induced valvular heart disease; cardiac pacing and cognition; and oral bacteria in the hearts of patients with valvular disease.

This yearbook presents important research in the field of cardiovascular research from around the world. Particular emphasis is placed on circadian medicine and its relationship to cardiovascular events as well as other new areas such as gene therapy in heart disease. This book begins with a piece dedicated to the former editor of Cardiology and head of that specialty at the Mayo Clinic, followed by a consensus directed by a board member of the World Health Organization (also a minister of health) with a university president.
