Essential Atlas Of Heart Diseases

This new atlas has been created especially for the primary care physician, from the spectacular 10 volume Atlas of Infectious Diseases, edited by Gerald Mandell. It contains over 450 full-colour images, to give the optimal range of image types for a multifaceted understanding of each clinical probelm: clinical photographs of patients, pathology specimens, gram stains, culture plates, radiographic material, scans, schematic drawings, and tables. There are detailed captions discussing each image which are targeted to help the busy non-specialist clinician easily diagnose and treat the entire range of systemic infections.

The Essential Atlas of Cardiovascular Disease takes a comprehensive look at all pertinent areas of cardiovascular disease. This four-color atlas includes detailed legends and extensive reference listings for hundreds of illustrations, algorithms, schematics, and images. Topics covered include atherosclerosis, vascular disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, hypertension, valvular disease, interventional cardiology, nuclear cardiology, cardiovascular imaging (echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance), and many others. Supported by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, this atlas is an invaluable resource for primary care physicians, cardiologists, and all professionals involved in the study and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

The most thorough series of its kind, the full-color Atlas of Heart Disease encompasses the work of nearly 200 leading specialists. Each volume is dedicated to a particular area of cardiology and provides comprehensive, concentrated coverage of every topic related to the specialty. Hundreds of outstanding cardiology images covering a vast array of topics from basic physiology and risk management to new pharmacologic treatment procedures are included.
