Book description
Now you have a dependable guide to the practical application of
hemodynamics. This concise handbook will help both practicing and
prospective clinicians better understand and interpret the hemodynamic
data used to make specific diagnoses and monitor ongoing therapy.
Written from the perspective of a clinician, this convenient
paperback opens with an overview of the basics of hemodynamics, then
devotes chapters to specific disease states. Topics include:
• coronary artery disease
• cardiomyopathies
• valve
disease
• arrhythmias
• pericardial disease
Numerous pressure tracings throughout the book reinforce the text by
demonstrating what you will see in daily practice.
To extract as much useful information as possible from the
hemodynamic data obtained from your patients, be sure to consult
