The main focus is on the comprehensive diagnosis of clinical conditions\/disease entities through the most effective cardiovascular imaging test or combination. The authors discuss the clinical utility and relative value of each test to address specific clinical questions, based on evidence and expert opinion. Each chapter presents information in the following format: overview, discussion of pathophysiology; differential diagnosis\/diagnostic evaluation; prognosis; and therapeutic guidance with illustration of treatment pathway. A companion Website will offer the full text, ten multiple-choice questions for each chapter, still and cine images, and imaging clips.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366511415569,"sku":"CIN0781795354G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00BG7DLUW.jpg?v=1750785440"},{"product_id":"multimodality-cardiovascular-imaging-book-mario-j-garcia-9780443115141","title":"Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging","description":"Significant advances over the past two decades in noninvasive cardiovascular imaging technologies and methods to evaluate patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease have transformed the field of cardiovascular imaging. Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging, edited by eminent cardiologist and leader in noninvasive cardiac imaging, Dr. Mario J. Garcia, serves as a one-stop, authoritative resource covering the application, value, limitations, and competing and complimentary roles of each of the different cardiac imaging modalities. It provides practical information and guidelines to cardiologists, radiologists, electrophysiologists, vascular medicine physicians, and cardiac surgeons-anyone who needs a deeper understanding of the roles and limitations of various imaging modalities for cardiovascular disease.  Offers a focused and concise overview of multimodal cardiac imaging for clinical assessment and treatment. Covers all relevant types of cardiac imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac CT, and nuclear cardiology. Contains sections on imaging in heart failure, imaging in EP, imaging in acute settings, and more. Features over 350 images and videos showcasing the benefits of different modalities. Provides practical information in every chapter: diagrams to illustrate the step-wise application of different noninvasive imaging modalities to establish the diagnosis and guide therapy; figures and illustrations to aid in the performance of imaging tests and interpretation of findings; a summary of the most relevant and updated information and references; a discussion of controversies; and clinical cases. An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50794408673553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50794409132305,"sku":"NGR9780443115141","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0443115141.jpg?v=1750697791"},{"product_id":"from-stress-septal-sign-to-global-heart-remodeling-book-mario-j-garcia-9783725818457","title":"From \"Stress Septal Sign\" to Global \"Heart Remodeling\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite advancements in real-time 3D segmental analysis at the Cleveland Clinic and animal validation studies via third-generation microscopic ultrasound at Johns Hopkins, as well as microscopic remodeling using comparisons of human and animal data at UCSF over two decades, the prevalence and role of LV segmental remodeling and early imaging biomarkers under daily hemodynamic stress remain unclear. Echocardiographers usually prefer single cross-sectional measurements for heart tissue. While basal septal hypertrophy is regular in animals, high stress scores with emotional stress lead to irregularity with tissue heterogeneity (stressed heart morphology, SHM) in humans. Superposed stressors in SHM are adrenergic overdrive, cognitive disorders, and chronic or exercise hypertension, leading to increased mortality. Hemodynamic fluctuations due to blood pressure variability in multiple stressors can be lethal, and enormous SHM may exist in chronic high-stress conditions. Basal septal dominancy or SHM could pre-exist chronically before Takotsubo episodes. SHM should be included in clinical protocols to monitor future acute episodes due to hypertension, the main cause of recurrent Takotsubo episodes. An approach to antihypertensive treatment and stress management with comprehensive diagnostic tests is needed. Recording SHM in clinical practice globally could provide a more comprehensive evaluation. Beyond the clinical aspects of SHM, there is a need to focus on cellular levels of myocardial tissue to investigate whether SHM is the specific location of Selye's nonspecific general adaptive response to stressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51306281664785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51306283925777,"sku":"NIN9783725818457","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52590192722193,"sku":"NLS9783725818457","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3725818452.jpg?v=1751221760"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mario-j-garcia.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
