Book SynopsisThis new, comprehensive analysis of human cardiovascular control explains the control of pressure, vascular volume and blood flow during orthostatis and exercise. Analysis of the physical properties of the vascular system and their modification by mechanical, neural, and humoural factors is highlighted by novel graphical representations of basic concepts. Interactive effects of the vasculature on cardiac performance and factors that both control and limit oxygen transfer from lungs to cells are stressed. This complete account will prove invaluable for all medical students, physiologists and clinicians who wish to better understand the reflex and hormonal control of the human cardiovascular system.Trade ReviewIt is a delight to read the historical perspective provided for each of the major concepts discussed as that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the early contributions by a number of scientists to the concepts of cardiovascular control accepted today. Pertinent headings are presented throughout to ease digestion of the wealth of information provided. The illustrations are excellent, each elaborating concepts presented in the text. The author has provided mini summaries at the end of each section so that major points of importance are emphasized ... when finished with this volume I had the feeling that I had just received a thorough education in current concepts of blood pressure regulation. * J.A.

Book SynopsisThis volume is particularly valuable as a current standard reference. It covers all the major vascular operations - carotid endarterectomy, aortoiliac reconstructions and infrainguinal bypasses (in-situ and reversed vein, Dacron and PTFE prosthetic), thoracic and abdominal bypasses - matching each to its competing endovascular procedure. In addition, it provides excellent long-term data on such less common procedures as internal carotid bypass, vertebral artery revascularization, adjunctive procedures to enhance the patency of infrainguinal prosthetic bypass, and percutaneous intentional extraluminal revascularization. Finally, this framework is reinforced by in-depth chapters on current non-interventional management, surveillance programs to enhance long-term patency, and the ultimate challenge for all practicing vascular surgeons - the management of infected aortic grafts. Such clear, comprehensive, and current analysis should be of considerable and on-going vaTrade Review"...a valuable resource that will be of great help in decisions regarding management of vascular patients. It is highly recommended for and will be an important addition to the personal libraries of vascular specialists." (Doody's Review Service) "This book is of most value in providing multiple papers on patency for each specific procedure. These are often illuminating because of the enormous range of reported results. The presentation and tables are impeccable, and the English is of a high standard.... I think that this is a useful book for a department of academic vascular surgery to have on its shelves."

Book SynopsisThe knowledge of the morphofunctional features from the coronary microcirculation is essential for understanding its role in cardiac physiological work and in the pathogenesis of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). The cardiovascular system comprises the heart and blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, both systemic and pulmonary. Arterioles are the primary site of vascular resistance and have only one to two layers of smooth muscular walls. Chapter One will provide an overview of the coronary microcirculation, its functions and regulatory mechanisms. The importance of CMD will be summarised in the context of diverse clinic scenarios, considering its pathogenesis, assessment and therapeutic management. The purpose of Chapter Two is to understand the role of arteriolar endothelial dysfunction in CVDs and its underlying mechanisms. Chapter Three will explore the physiopathology, epidemiology, and the diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive retinopathy. Chapter Four reports on angiogenesis, a critical process for reproduction in mammals, which consists of arterioles and blood vessels formation from the existing ones.

Book SynopsisTranscatheter Valve Repair discusses all aspects related to percutaneous and established valve repair methods. The book is divided into few major sections covering all four valves and other topics. Each section contains several chapters discussing everything related to that valve. Beginning with the pulmonary valve, since it was the first valve to be tackled in the catheterization laboratory, and then moving to the aortic, then the mitral and then finally end with the tricuspid valve. 1.5M US citizens alone have some degree of aortic valve stenosis, with half (750K) requiring aortic valve replacement. Aortic valve replacement, on the whole, is performed by surgeons, requiring bypass machines and technicians, as well as the usual operating team. The operation is expensive and occupies a considerable amount of operating room time. Mostly, the aortic valve is calcified and the usual option available to patients is valve replacement with a variety of choices, ranging from porcine valves to synthetic, for which there are many manufacturers. It should be noted that the aortic valve is the most problematic of valves. Percutaneous procedures are the answer.The bottom line is that given the growing elderly population, many more patients will require valve repair, thus increasing health care costs with not only surgical operations but also hospitalisation. Percutanous valve repair, whilst requiring a cath lab team, does not involve bypass machines nor extended hospitalisation. Like percutaneous transluminal coronary artery interventions (PTCA) has replaced coronary artery bypass grafts (once the golden standard), and now stenting having replaced PTCA and its balloons. We now see drug eluting stents replacing ordinary stents (though at a much higher cost. There will be a huge movement toward percutanous valve repair, which should presumably cut costs but also morbidity and mortality.Trade Review"an excellent compilation of a fast and newly developing field. There is liberal use of color illustrations. […] I think cardiologists, both pediatric and adult, and cardiac surgeons will find something of interest in this book. As this field develops and more clinical information becomes available, it is likely that future editions will include more outcomes data and will allow this first-rate book to develop into a classic."
