The Human Heart: A Basic Guide to Heart Diseaseby Brendan Phibbs
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This basic text on the heart and heart diseases is geared to everyone on the cardiovascular care team, including emergency personnel, interns, residents, nurses, patients, and families. The thoroughly updated Second Edition describes current technologies for noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of coronary and vascular disease. Coverage includes a complete description of echocardiographic stress testing and new information on implanted defibrillators, indications for coronary arteriography, new drugs for heart failure, new cardiac resuscitation procedures, and use of ventricular synchronizing pacemakers. Also included are discussions of recently discovered lethal entities such as Brugada's syndrome, short QT syndrome, and the arrhythmogenic ventricle. Book News Annotation:Phibbs (cardiology, U. Arizona-Tucson) wrote this guide some 40 years
ago for cardiac patients, and so assumed that readers had no medical
background at all. Since then it has also become popular with
specialist and primary doctors and nurses as well as non-technical
people in the medical industry. His topics include the functioning
normal heart, the electrocardiogram, pulmonary heart disease, and
cardiac surgery. This edition is updated from the 1997
Lippincott-Raven edition.
Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:MedicalScienceBooks.com — "The author's years of experience as a clinician and teacher show throughout the book. One can imagine the text developing from a long list of 'frequently asked questions' posed by his patients and students. The text also reflects a deep understanding of how to avoid confusion while explaining complex physiological processes. The book uses terms to which nearly any reader can relate. This makes it an excellent primer on heart disease for medical personnel as well as comprehensive reference guide for patients who want to be better informed about their disease and treatment."MedicalScienceBooks.com Table of ContentsStructure and Function of the Normal Heart Valves of the Heart Pumping Action of the Heart Blood Supply of the Heart The Functioning Normal Heart Heart Failure Hypertensive Heart Disease Coronary Heart Disease The Heart Valves The Autonomic or Automatic Nervous System The Electrocardiogram Cardiac Arrhythmias Congenital Heart Disease Rheumatic Heart Disease Pregnancy and Heart Disease Pulmonary Heart Disease Imaginary Heart Disease To Pace or Not to Pace Medical Treatment of Heart Failure Catheterization of the Heart and Coronary Arteriography Cardiac Surgery Heart Attack Measuring the Efficiency of the Heart Special Diagnostic Procedures Review Test Appendix What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
