This publication demystifies many difficult topics in cardiology and cardiac catheterization, commencing with the basics of laboratory instrumentation and technology and progressing to a comprehensive review of new and established interventions. Unlike other publications that are directed mainly towards clinicians, this text is specifically written to assist other medical professionals, such as nurses, technicians and scientific staff. Medical staff will find this a valuable introduction to an area that can be intimidating for a novice. Containing vital information not readily available in standard medical literature, it is an indispensable reference text throughout the hands-on instruction period. Much of the complexity of cardiology is a result of innovative developments and implementation of new technologies. This publication describes in detail some of the new techniques and instrumentation gaining acceptance in modern medicine. These procedures include intravascular ultrasound, bifurcation stenting, septal closure, radiation therapy, angiogenesis and the application of novel drug therapies such as monocional anti-platelet antibodies. The collected knowledge presented herein, written by recognized specialists in their respective fields, will no doubt prove of great benefit to clinician and non-medical specialist alike.. Hardcover.
