Book description
Remarkable improvements in cardiac survival rates have made
cardiovascular critical care much more common, but no less challenging
for the practitioner. This important volume draws on the skills of an
expert team of editors and contributors to present a timely overview of
clinical practice.
The book covers the full range of the field, from pre-operative
assessment and the haematological complications of cardiovascular
surgery and critical care to the care of patients with:
· Arrhythmias
· Heart Failure
· Adult Congenital Heart Disease
· Mitral Valve Disease
· Aortic Valve Disease
· Infective Endocarditis
· Vasculitis
The authors also address the special problems associated with the
management of conditions consequent upon pregnancy, eclampsia, and the
hypertensive crisis.
With high-quality illustrations and a helpful index,
Cardiovascular Critical Care gives you access to information
that helps you provide the best possible care to your patients.
