Robert A. O. Rourke Libri

This is the second book in a two-volume set. Along with a strong focus on patient care the new Hurst's THE HEART includes a new look and organization. Each chapter has been systematically overhauled with an emphasis on streamlining the content for a focused presentation of the LATEST THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES and the EVIDENCE-BASED DATA that support them. CLINICAL GUIDELINES are included to equip you with the critical information for optimal patient care in an increasingly time-pressured, cost/benefit environment. WHAT'S NEW in the Tenth Edition * Expanded coverage of molecular biology of blood vessels and myocardium * More information on testing modalities--especially those related to nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging, MRI and PET * New emphasis on managing heart failure, including interventional techniques and new drug therapy strategies * Additional chapters on the biology of coronary heart disease * Expanded sections related to prevention, diagnosis and treatment * More emphasis on integrating the science of cardiac care with treatment * Easy-to-reference, evidence-based practice guidelines where appropriate * New insight on the human genome project and its implications * Techniques for clinical evaluation of the patient * Late-breaking reports on clinical trials * Heart disease in diabetics * New sections on nonsurgical interventions in cardial and peripheral vascular disease

Provides the reader with a practical approach to the treatment of patients with cardioavascular disease.

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!"This book is intended for senior medical students, but could be used by junior medical students or even medical residents as a starting point in basic electrocardiography....There is definitely a need for this ten-day plan to fit medical student needs in the curriculum. This book is beautifully illustrated with the basics using a vector cardiographic loop approach....This text was designed as a beginner's course in electrocardiography and that challenge is well met."-- Doody's Review Service In ten succinct lessons, this logically organized guide effectively explains the essentials of interpreting virtually every ECG practitioners are likely to encounter. Features crystal-clear vector images and practice ECG strips to build confidence and clinical skills. Expertly written by an author with nearly two decades of experience in teaching ECG interpretation, readers are masterfully guided around the pitfalls to achieve proficiency in this important clinical skill. For medical students, residents, or any medical professional who needs a "crash course" in ECG interpretation, this innovative resource is must-reading.

Manuál shrnuje klinickou část 12. vydání HURST´S the HEART do praktické příručky, která předkládá čtenáři klíčové body kardiovaskulární patofyziologie, diagnostiky a léčby v přehledné a didakticky přístupné formě. Sepsal ji stejný autorský kolektiv jako "velkou publikaci" HURST´S the HEART, 12. vydání, ovšem manuál obsahuje navíc oproti této knize tabulky a algoritmy doporučených postupů, které umožňují rychlou orientaci v problému a volbu odpovídajícího diagnostiko-léčebného postupu.
