Cardiac Sonography - Ozark Campus: Home

This book sets echocardiography within a routine clinical context. It aims to synthesise guidelines into a pragmatic clinical approach to real patients providing a step-by-step guide to performing, reporting and interpreting a study. Written with the imagination of the calm voice of a senior echocardiographer teaching a junior, this edition has been extensively revised with an expansion of sections on acute, intensive care and emergency medicine. COVID-19 has necessitated limiting exposure of both patient and operator to infection and also caused a huge increase in waiting lists. This has sharpened the debate over matching the level of scan to the clinical question and also highlights the importance of collaboration between clinicians and echocardiographers. Key features: * Expanded first chapter on levels of echocardiography. * New sections on COVID-19, cardio-oncology, multivalve disease, and specialist valve clinics. * Incorporation of new international guidelines, grading criteria and normal data. * Guide to how cardiac CT and magnetic resonance can compliment echocardiography. * Reformatted text and extra diagrams and tables to improve understanding.

Electrocardiography for Health Care Personnel prepares users for a national ECG certification examination, as well as provides ECG skills training for health care students and health care personnel who are interested in mastering additional skills. The text includes the essential skills needed to perform an ECG, including anatomy of the heart, basic characteristics, equipment, appropriate intervention, and other technical applications, such as Holter monitoring and stress testing. Emphasis throughout the text is placed on troubleshooting.

This updated second edition provides a comprehensive overview of cardiac pathology. Clear illustrations of the common styles of dissection are provided along with the normal anatomy and histology. The chapters cover autopsy heart examination, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, sudden death, valvular disease, transplant pathology, cardiomyopathy, cardiac neoplasia and congenital heart disease with a clear analysis of diagnostic criteria (macroscopic, microscopic and genetic) for both common cardiac diseases and those of less common types. The text is accompanied by high quality macroscopic and microscopic images and references to other specialty data sources. Cardiac Pathology: A Guide to Current Practice is aimed at established pathologists and trainees, as well as any clinician with an interest in cardiac disease. It will be of value to those working in cardiac surgery, cardiology and those in the autopsy/forensic fields.

This new edition is a comprehensive and practical guide to the use of echocardiography in everyday clinical practice. Divided into thirteen sections, the book begins with the basic principles of echocardiography and echocardiographic examination. Subsequent chapters cover the valves of the heart and vascular system, prosthetic valves, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, pericardial disorders, cardiac tumours and congenital heart disease. The chapters follow a question and answer format and many are supplemented by case studies, as well as full colour images and illustrations. Much of the content of this manual has been abstracted from Comprehensive Textbook of Echocardiography (9789352701643) published in 2019, also by Navin C Nanda.  The second edition has been fully revised and updated to include recent advances in the field. The author and editor team of internationally recognised cardiovascular experts, led by renowned Navin C Nanda, ensures authoritative content throughout the book.

The objective of this textbook is to introduce the echocardiography. Echocardiography has emerged as one of the leading noninvasive diagnostic techniques in cardiology. This book consists of 56 chapters, which cover all common aspects of echocardiography starting from basics to the current advanced techniques. All the chapters from the first addition are updated and the new chapters added were of clinical and echo significance such as hypertension, diabetes, fetal echocardiography, artificial intelligence, cardio-oncology, full updates on ARVD and Kawasaki disease. The book emphasizes on how to perform basic 2D and 3D echocardiography, and there are chapters fully dedicated on "How to perform two and three-dimensional echocardiography by the uninitiated." Both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic techniques are described. There are separate chapters on chamber quantification, assessment of systolic, diastolic function, congenital and valvular heart disease. There are dedicated chapters on coronary artery disease, stress echocardiography and myocardial contrast echocardiography, emphasizing the need for strain analysis, regional wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction. This will be a nice reference book for postgraduates, cardiologists, physicians, anesthetists, pediatricians, etc.
