The essential resource on cardiac hemodynamics-now in a newedition

Hemodynamic Rounds, Third Edition is intended to helpcardiologists and other members of the medical community enhancetheir understanding of cardiac physiology and its associatedhemodynamic presentations in health and disease, including thebasic principles of flow and pressure measurements; systemic aswell as coronary hemodynamics in normal and diseased states; andchanges in hemodynamics following interventional procedures rangingfrom valvuloplasty to stent placement.

Like its popular predecessors, this new edition draws on casestudies to illustrate characteristic cardiac hemodynamic findingsand discuss the essential methods used in interpreting pressurewaveforms as a diagnostic and monitoring tool.

The text is organized into chapters on specific areas of theheart, common cardiac anomalies, and hemodynamic situationsresulting from different therapeutic procedures, and includes bothnormal and abnormal pressure waveforms. This new edition includesthoroughly revised and updated chapters on specific topics,including:
* Mitral stenosis and mitral valvuloplasty
* Low-gradient aortic valve stenosis
* Pitfalls of right heart hemodynamics
* Aortic and pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty
* Coronary hemodynamics for angioplasty and stenting
* Hemodynamic evaluation of stenotic bioprosthetic mitralvalves
* Evaluation of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathies
* Understanding cardiac pathophysiology from bedside hemodynamicstudy

Hemodynamic Rounds, Third Edition, is the only book onthe market that specifically addresses comprehensive cardiachemodynamic findings, reviewing blood pressure tracings collectedfrom the cardiac catheterization lab on all aspects ofcardiovascular disease, as well as normal cardiac function. It isan indispensable tool for all physicians, nurses, and studentsmeasuring and interpreting cardiac waveforms in cardiac diagnosisand monitoring.
