Women and Heart Disease
ISBN: 9781841842882 / Angielski / Twarda / 659 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite huge media attention and public awareness, more dedicated publications, recent advances in pharmaceutical and medical device developments, heart disease in women is under-diagnosed, under-treated, and under-managed. What is wrong? Why? Many women fail to present in the clinic when symptomatic because of their responsibilities to the home, children and work. Often the first presentation follows a cardiac event. For many multicenter clinical trials, women are excluded regardless of age, cardiac events, or vascular health, because they are women, because they are of child-bearing age,...

Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists: Current Perspectives
ISBN: 9781841845791 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since angiotensin II is one of the most potent vasoconstrictors and an important stimulus for the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal gland, the development of of angiotensin II inhibitors is an important step in regulating blood pressure. This class of drug is well-tolerated by pateints and these drugs have the added advantage over ACE inhibitors in that they are not associated with cough. Because most drugs can be given once daily and, like ACEIs, they have a useful additive hypotensive effect in combination with diuretics, they are a welcome therapeutic tool in the treatment of...

Common Clinical Dilemmas in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
ISBN: 9781841846095 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coronary stenting is the most commonly used method of myocardial revascularization, with approximately 2 million stents implanted in 2004 throughout the world. The development of drug eluting stents has resulted in very low rates of repeat intervention and will further increase the scope for percutaneous coronary intervention.
The evidence from large randomized trials is generally accepted to be the gold standard source of information for patient care in interventional cardiology. However, it is well recognized that information from these trials is frequently insufficient to guide the...

Optical Coherence Tomography in Cardiovascular Research
ISBN: 9781841846118 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Given that for centuries, the standard tool to understand diseases in tissues was the microscope and that its major limitation was that only excised tissue could be used, recent technology now permits the examination of diseased tissue in vivo. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has promising potential when applied to coronary artery disease. OCT has the capability to identify coronary plaque and to distinguish between plaques that are stable and unstable. If the plaques are stable then OCT can direct percutaneous intervention (angioplasty or stenting). Optical coherence tomography is a...
