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.

Twelve-lead Electrocardiography: Theory and Interpretation. 2nd ed. 2007

Twelve-lead Electrocardiography Theory and Interpretation.

D. Bruce Foster

ISBN-10: 1846285925

ISBN-13: 978-1846285929

Springer

Twelve Lead Electrocardiography for ACLS Providers deals solely with the analysis of the shape (morphology) of ECG waveforms in order to diagnose many conditions not related to rhythm, including ischemia, acute myocardial infarction, and enlargement of heart muscle (hypertrophy). It is aimed at students who already have a familiarity with the analysis of heart rhythms. Almost all other texts of morphologic interpretation for non-cardiologists rely heavily on memorizing electrocardiographic patterns. Memorizing is difficult, and long term retention of memorized data is low. This book is unique because it leads the reader through a set of discrete building blocks of easily understood electrophysiologic principles, and then allows the reader to deduce what the 12 lead electrocardiogram will look like under various circumstances. There are no memorizing patterns. Retention is greatly enhanced, and more importantly, the reader becomes a more competent interpreter of 12 lead electrocardiograms.

Wiley-Blackwell

Pattern recognition is an important learning tool in the interpretation of ECGs. Unfortunately, until faced with a patient with an arrhythmia or structural heart disease, pediatric practitioners generally receive limited exposure to ECGs. The ability to clearly distinguish an abnormal ECG pattern from a normal variant in an emergency situation is an essential skill, but one that many pediatricians feel ill-prepared to utilize confidently.
