Cardiac tumors were once a nosographic entity of scarce clinical interest because of the rarity and of the intrinsic diagnostic and therapeutic impossibilities, and were considered a fatal morbid entity. It has now become a topical subject due to advances in clinical imaging (echo, magnetic resonance, computed tomography) as well as innovation in technologies of in-vivo diagnosis. Cardiac Tumor Pathology presents a spectacular example of these advances with clinico-pathologic correlations. This timely volume covers history, epidemiology, demographics, clinical diagnosis, pathology, imaging by...

The objective of this text-atlas is to examine the bicuspid aortic valve syndrome (BAV) holistically. The various chapters deal with epidemiology, morphological spectrum, embryology, associated congenital heart disease, genetics and familiarity, natural history, including clinically relevant valve complications (stenosis, regurgitation, endocarditis) and/or vascular complications affecting the thoracic aorta (dilatation, aneurysm, dissection) that require close clinical follow-up. In addition, multimodal imaging and surgical and transcatheter therapeutic options will be described. To the best...
