From Interventional Pearls to Pioneering Technologies in Transcatheter Treatment of Congenital Heart Defects
Congenital and pediatric cardiology continues to advance at a rapid pace, with recent decades witnessing tremendous progress in transcatheter interventions as well as advanced 3D technologies for patient-specific therapy. Several newer devices, non-invasive image-guided therapies, and interventional techniques are appearing regularly. The novelties from the field require not only to be acknowledged but also to be broadcast within the community of interventional pediatric cardiologists. This Research Topic will highlight current strategies for the management of children and adults with congenital and structural heart disease. This Research Topic will cover a wide range of catheter-based techniques along with interventional pearls from world experts and next-generation key opinion leaders in the field of catheter-based treatment of congenital heart defects. The Research Topic will also include a comprehensive comparison of the advantages and pitfalls of commercially available devices that are designed for similar clinical applications. Attention will be drawn to important tips and tricks to assist interventionists in achieving optimal clinical and procedural outcomes.
Intensive Care of the Adult with Congenital Heart Disease
Dedicated to the critical management of acutely ill adults with congenital heart disease, this comprehensive book discusses the many challenges faced in the management of these patients, who require intensive inter- and trans-disciplinary care. It provides the first universal review of the practical management of patients with these complex conditions, who survive into adulthood with congenital cardiac malformations and are often affected by other morbidities. For this reason, it reflects a consistent interaction and collaboration between several disciplines: pediatric and adult cardiology, cardiac surgery, pediatric and adult cardiac intensive care, anesthesia, intensive care nursing, nutri...
Clinical Psychology and Congenital Heart Disease
This book describes those psychological features specifically characteristic of patients with congenital heart disease, from birth to adulthood. The combination of case studies, descriptions of life experiences and psychological recommendations and collaboration with non-profit organizations in the field ensure that it will serve as an excellent day-to-day learning tool. Technological advances in cardiology and cardiac surgery have resulted in an increase in the number of adults with congenital heart disease, creating a new emergency. From when they are born, these patients and their relatives require extensive support for many reasons, including the uncertainty and restrictions in their lives, frequent hospitalizations and difficulties in the work and social spheres. Clinical Psychology and Congenital Heart Disease explains how psychology can contribute to healthcare treatment of patients with congenital heart disease and their families. Emphasis is placed on the need for a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the well-being of the patient and the clinician is provided with insights and instruments that will assist greatly in the provision of appropriate support.
The ESC Textbook of Sports Cardiology
Sports and exercise have been intensely advocated as protective lifestyle measures which prevent or reduce the risk of severe health issues, including cardiovascular disease. More extreme forms of sports (for instance at high altitudes) have been identified as an important way of promoting cardiovascular adaptation, but have also been associated with adverse effects and even major cardiovascular events in predisposed individuals. Participating in more commonplace sports and exercise, such as football, may also increase a person's risk of cardiac events. This publication is timely in the light of a burgeoning number of clinical papers in the field. The ESC Textbook of Sports Cardiology provid...
Elastography of the Liver and Beyond
This volume explores the main applications of elastographic techniques in hepatological and gastroenterological diseases, and elaborates on the use of these diagnostic techniques in a broad range of clinical settings; in this regard, it provides a clear critical methodological approach to the correct indication, taking into account the existing diagnostic pathways, the actual diagnostic accuracy of elastographic techniques, and their impact on clinical practice in terms of correct positioning of the test in the diagnostic pathway and clinical outcomes improvement. In the first chapters, which focus on the correct methodology for Diagnostic Accuracy Assessment of non -invasive techniques, the architecture of diagnostic research is discussed. In turn, the following sections describe a broad range of clinical applications in hepatology and gastroenterology. The closing section presents a number of case studies on practical issues, together with a critical discussion on how to promote the appropriate use of these technologies. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to specialists, post-graduate medical students, and researchers in the fields of hepatology and gastroenterology.
Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease , E-Book
Written and edited by the world's leading ACHD experts, Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Fourth Edition, provides up-to-date, must-know information in this increasingly important field. It offers essential guidance on anatomical issues, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management options available to clinicians and allied professionals who work with adults with congenital heart disease. Comprehensive and practical, this outstanding resource is invaluable for all involved with the care challenges and opportunities of the ever-growing number of patients born with CHD, the most common inborn defect worldwide. - Presents each CHD lesion-oriented chapter in a consi...
Atrial Septal Defect
Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are relatively common both in children and adults. Recent reports of increase in the prevalence of ASD may be related use of color Doppler echocardiography. The etiology of the ASD is largely unknown. While the majority of the book addresses closure of ASDs, one chapter in particular focuses on creating atrial defects in the fetus with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This book, I hope, will give the needed knowledge to the physician caring for infants, children, adults and elderly with ASD which may help them provide best possible care for their patients.
Congenital Anomalies of Coronary Arteries
The coronaries are the first branches of the ascending aorta. They arise from their respective sinuses of Valsalva, and gradually branch distally to the myocardium. Abnormalities of the coronary arteries, either congenital or acquired, can be characterized as a lack of origin, abnormal origin, anomalous course, lack of patency, abnormal connections, and/or abnormal drainage of the coronary vessels. Interruptions to or lack of flow can cause significant morbidity and mortality due to ischemia, infarction and fistulous connections, which can lead to cardiac failure, endocarditis and ischemia. Coronary artery anomalies are rare in general populations. Although they can be benign and asymptomati...
Fetal and Hybrid Procedures in Congenital Heart Diseases
This book is an ideal, up-to-date guide to the application of fetal interventions and hybrid procedures, in which the surgeon and the interventional cardiologist work together, for the treatment of congenital heart diseases at a very early stage when disease outcome may be altered. State of the art data and clear instruction are offered on techniques such as fetal pulmonary and aortic valve dilatation, fetal interatrial septum stenting, hybrid defect closure, hybrid stent implantation, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome therapy. Recognized experts describe the benefits of such early interventions, particularly evident in the case of valve disease, and explain how the hybrid strategy, by com...
