There are few textbooks aimed specifically at critical care pharmacists, particularly in terms of their potential role in diagnosis. Recognizing this important gap, the editors of this comprehensive book have gathered together 55 chapters that provide an overview of core aspects of critical care patient management from the pharmacist’s perspective. The chapters, written by an international team of more than 100 experts, provide an important update on the physiological and pathological mechanisms of key areas of critical illness and the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these conditions for the pharmacist. There are chapters focusing on specific diseases or conditions, including shoc...
This issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, Guest Edited by Drs. Suneet Mittal and David Slotwiner,, is dedicated to Device-Based Arrhythmia Monitoring. This is one of four issues selected each year by the series Consulting Editors, Ranjan K. Thakur and Andrea Natale. Topics include, but are not limited to: Implantable loop recorders, Permanent pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, Heart failure monitoring, Remote programming and cybersecurity concerns, Models for remote monitoring, Data management and integration with EMR systems, Screening for atrial fibrillation and The role of artificial intelligence in arrhythmia monitoring.
This extensively revised second edition provides a practically applicable guide for the management of cardiac arrhythmia. This subject has continued to expand rapidly, and it is therefore critical to understand the basic principles of arrhythmia mechanisms in order to assist with diagnosis and the selection of an appropriate treatment strategy. Comprehensively revised chapters cover a variety of aspects of cardiac electrophysiology in an easy-to-digest case-based format. For each case of arrhythmia, relevant illustrations, fluoroscopy images, ECGs and endocavity electrograms are used to describe the etiology, classification, clinical presentation, mechanisms, electrophysiology set up and rel...
This is a reference book aimed at cardiologists, electrophysiologists and fellows in training. It presents an expansive review of cardiac electrogram interpretation in a collation of manuscripts that represent clinical studies, relevant anecdotal cases and basic science chapters evaluating cardiac signal processing pertaining to persistent atrial fibrillation. A diagnostic approach to arrhythmias using a standard ECG, the signal average ECG and fetal ECG is highlighted. Intracardiac ICD electrograms are also explored in terms of trouble shooting and device programming.
This issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, Guest Edited by Drs. Giuseppe Bagliani, Roberto De Ponti, and Fabio Leonelli is dedicated to The Complex World of Cardiac Pre-Excitation: towards Precision Electrocardiology. This is one of four issues selected each year by the series Consulting Editors, Ranjan K. Thakur and Andrea Natale. Topics include, but are not limited to, Anatomy of the AV junction, Pre-excitation, Algorithms to identify accessory pathways location on 12-lead ECG, Pathophysiology of accessory pathways-mediated arrhythmias, Arrhythmias with by-stander accessory pathways, Arrhythmias involving unusual accessory pathways, Sudden cardiac death in patients with ventricular pre-excitation, Clinical approach to symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with ventricular pre-excitation, Methodology of accessory pathway ablation, Ablation of accessory pathways with unusual anatomic location, Ablation of accessory pathways with uncommon electrophysiologic properties, and Ablation in pediatric patients and in association with congenital heart disease.
A Complete Guide to Atrial Abnormalities: From Computational Analysis to Clinical Applications provides background on all atrial conditions, helps clinicians differentiate between the main atrial diseases, and illustrates the clinical implications of each. Research into atrial dysfunctions has stalled in recent years. However, this book presents important research and prognostic information on the different types of atrial disorders. These include: Interatrial block; Atrial Dyssynchrony; Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter; Bayés syndrome; Atrial enlargement; Atrial failure.This book further illuminates atrial involvement in all heart conditions, including cardiogenetic diseases, channel...
Modern medicine has produced many wonderful technological breakthroughs that have extended the limits of the frail human body. However, much of the focus of this medical research has been on the physical, often reducing the human being to a biological machine to be examined, understood, and controlled. This book begins by asking whether the modern medical milieu has overly objectified the body, unwittingly or not, and whether current studies in bioethics are up to the task of restoring a fuller understanding of the human person. In response, various authors here suggest that a more theological/religious approach would be helpful, or perhaps even necessary. Presenting specific perspectives fr...
Effective identification of patients at increased risk of malignant cardiac arrhythmia presently represents a clinically important unmet need. Existing guidelines for the selection of candidates for the prophylactic implantation of cardioverters-defibrillators (ICD) are based solely on the reduction of ventricular haemodynamic performance. Although this guidance is based on statistical results of previously conducted randomized clinical trials, available experience shows that it does not serve clinical needs efficiently. The majority of patients who are implanted with ICDs for prophylactic reasons never utilize the device during its technical longevity whilst, at the same time, many patients...
As an avid outdoorswoman with a passion for health and fitness, Kristy could never have imagined that she would lose everything she knew and loved on a hike that was meant to bring her peace. After setting up camp one night, she realized she was covered in ticks. One tick in particular would change her life forever. Eventually, Kristy’s mobility became impaired, and she experienced a significant loss of cognitive function. This, along with a host of other ailments, would lead her to seek treatment outside of the country. There she would learn about Lyme disease and the many other infections she had acquired. Kristy would soon discover that she had also developed other significant health is...
Brugada Phenocopy: The Art of Recognizing the Brugada ECG Pattern details all aspects associated with alternative diagnosis to Brugada Syndrome (BrS). Coverage includes how to identify the proper ECG pattern, what to do to investigate for BrP, and how to avoid misinterpretations and the use of unnecessary and expensive treatments. Chapters are written by experienced professionals, many of whom are colleagues that initially described this condition. This easy to use volume is a must have reference for researchers of cardiology, cardiologists, electrocardiologists, internists, emergency care doctors and students, residents and fellows. - Assists in the proper recognition of the Brugada ECG patterns and how to distinguish true BrS from other conditions with identical ECG - Expands understanding on how to properly recognize the ECG of Brugada patterns - Contains access to a companion website with video to enhance understanding of proper measurement of the beta angle (Chevallier) and the base of the triangle (Serra)
