Structural heart disease encompasses both congenital malformations of the heart or major arteries and disorders acquired in adulthood, e.g. valvular heart disease. Structural abnormalities can also arise from associated conditions such as diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy or fibrosis, left ventricular dilatation or hypocontractility, and asymptomatic valvular disease, and are strongly associated with myocardial infarction and heart failure.
State of the art management of these disorders by the cardiology clinician demands a current knowledge of a vast amount of translational research in the pathophysiology of structural heart disease and its associated disorders as well as recent advances in diagnostic techniques and pharmacologic and interventional therapies. This volume provides expert reviews and assessment of the most recent clinical research and on current trends in evaluation and diagnosis and clinical management.
Key topics covered include the CT evaluation of coronary artery disease; MRI for assessment of the post-MI heart; diabetes; non-invasive assessment of peripheral vascular disease; and cardiac causes of stroke; and numerous others.
