This reference provides a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiac disorders in the elderly patient - the most common cause of illness and death in that population and the group in which these diseases are most prevalent. Demonstrating both typical and atypical presentations of cardiac conditions, and offering logical approaches to treatment, "Cardiovascular Disease in the Elderly patient": emphasizes specific conditions found in elderly patients; illustrates the differences in clinical presentation and responses to therapy between older and younger patients; covers in detail controversial issues in anticoagulation therapy, hypertension therapy, cerebral vascular disease, hyperlipidemia, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation; thoroughly discusses coronary artery disease from epidemiology to clinical recognition and management, including discussions of bypass surgery and angioplasty; highlights normal cardiovascular aging with findings from electrocardiographic and echocardiographic tests in healthy elderly persons; and examines valvular disease and valvuloplasty for both mitral and aortic valvular stenosis.
With over 2100 literature citations, tables, and figures, Cardiovascular Disease in the Elderly Patient is for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, geriatricians, gerontologists, general practice physicians, physicologists, internists, geriatric nurses, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
