Klappentext The first book developed specifically for hospitalists managing the growing number of patients with cardiovascular disorders Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of hospitalization and mortality worldwide, and will account for approximately twenty million deaths in 2015. Due to this growing problem, many patients are being managed by non-cardiovascular physicians in the inpatient setting. As a result, hospitalists and other inpatient physicians without specialized training in cardiology are faced with uncertainty when contemplating the proper management of these patients. This book focuses on inpatient cardiovascular medicine in a highly algorithmic and evidence-based approach, so that users will be able to care for their hospitalized patients directly, using the best contemporary evidence available. It emphasizes the practical, immediate application of principles and treatment recommendations into everyday clinical inpatient practice, while simplifying the approach to these patients by utilizing visual aids such as carefully designed charts, illustrations, and diagrams. Inpatient Cardiovascular Medicine features thoughtful, comprehensive coverage by top experts in the field. Topics include: Cardiovascular History and Physical Examination Introduction to Electrocardiography Non-invasive Cardiac Imaging Cardiac Stress Testing and the Evaluation of Chest Pain Perioperative Cardiac Evaluation Cardiac Resuscitation Acute Coronary Syndromes: Unstable Angina and Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Chronic Coronary Artery Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease Thoracic Aortic Disease Systolic Heart Failure Diastolic Heart Failure Dilated and Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Heart Transplantation and Left Ventricular Assist Devices Syncope Approach to the Patient with a Narrow Complex Tachycardia Approach to the Patient with a Wide Complex Tachycardia Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy Cardiac Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators Valvular Heart Disease Infective Endocarditis Pericardial Diseases Pulmonary Hypertension Cardiac Tumors Zusammenfassung Focusing on inpatient cardiovascular medicine in a highly algorithmic and evidence-based approach! Inpatient Cardiovascular Medicine is the first book developed specifically to help hospitalists manage the rapidly growing population of hospitalized patients who present with cardiovascular disorders.
