This is the first book to focus entirely on the role of pathology in cardiac transplantation, linked to the clinical perspective through clinical-pathological correlation, multidisciplinary team working, and collaborative research. It provides a scientific framework with up-to-date pathological protocols and classification schemes and guides the reader through the chronological phases of the transplant process in a step-by-step approach. Topics include end-stage heart failure with pathologies encountered in the native heart, current issues surrounding donor selection, the multiple faces of...

Cardiac rehabilitation is of key importance to ameliorate long-term morbidity and mortality resulting from cardiac intervention. However, much of the current literature is dense, unwelcoming and academic in style and format. For those physicians understanding the scope of cardiac rehabilitation there is a need to distill the guidelines and various management options available to them into a concise practical manual. Up until now, all references have looked at the general options, but there is definite need to investigate the practicalities of individual patient groups.

Ziel von Mark-Alexander Solf war die Identifizierung potenzieller Interaktionen sozialer, psychosozialer und anderer Personlichkeitsmerkmale mit definierten Krankheitsverarbeitungsstrategien, um die Individualitat des Herzkranken und dessen moglichen Profit von der dualen somato-psychischen Therapie zu unterstreichen. In der vorliegenden Studie hat er herzchirurgische Patienten zur Evaluation spezifischer psychischer Belastung und konsekutiver Krankheitsverarbeitung herangezogen. Der Herzpatient von heute ist aufgeklarter denn je. Sein personliches, biopsychosoziales Krankheitsverstandnis...
