Illustrated Clinical Anatomy Of The Heart

This is the latest edition of what has become a classic textbook on cardiac anatomy. Full colour, heavily illustrated.

​This heart anatomy book describes the cardiac development and cardiac anatomy in the development of the adult heart, and is illustrated by numerous images and examples. It contains 550 images of dissected embryo and adult hearts, obtained through the dissection and photography of 235 hearts. It has been designed to allow the rapid understanding of the key concepts and that everything should be clearly and graphically explained in one book. This is an atlas of cardiac development and anatomy of the human heart which distinguishes itself with the use of 550 images of embryonic, fetal and adult hearts and using text that is logical and concise. All the mentioned anatomical structures are shown with the use of suggestive dissection images to emphasize the details and the overall location. All the images have detailed comments, while clinical implications are suggested. The dissections of different hearts exemplify the variability of the cardiac structures. The electron and optical microscopy images are sharp and provide great fidelity. The arterial molds obtained using methyl methacrylate are illustrative and the pictures use suggestive angles. The dissections were made on human normal and pathological hearts of different ages, increasing the clinical utility of the material contained within.​

Illustrated Guide to Cardiovascular Disease is an extensive and highly visual guide, encompassing the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, along with cardiac anatomy and physiology. This book is divided into 58 chapters across seven sections. Each section covers a different disease or group of heart diseases, including coronary artery disease, heart failure and cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, and a final section on miscellaneous cardiovascular diseases. Each chapter features detailed discussion on common and uncommon conditions and their pathology, with the latest therapies in cardiology and European and American guidelines highlighted throughout the book. More than 1700 full colour images, illustrations, figures, flow charts and tables enhance Illustrated Guide to Cardiovascular Disease, an invaluable resource for all cardiologists. Extensive illustrated guide to a vast range of cardiovascular diseases Seven sections covering specific diseases and groups of diseases 1700 images in full colour Edited by Glenn N Levine, Director of the Michael E DeBakey Medical Centre in Houston, Texas

This work is not an anatomical atlas nor textbook (like that of McAlpine and Anderson) nor an angiographical atlas (like that of Vlodaver et al.); it is a short and comprehensive survey of the many variations of the intrinsic cardiac vessels. The reader's attention is focused on the numerous structural details and peculiarities of the human coronary arteries. The many unique features have been revealed by meticulous dissection and present an excellent documentation. All in all, this study represents an up-to-date review of morphology of the coronary arteries.
