Topics in Structural Heart Disease:

(Emerging Concepts in Cardiology Series)

Demos Medical Publishing

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.

This book on abnormalities in puberty presents an overview on the latest knowledge on the mechanisms of the developmental processes of puberty. Although the exact mechanisms of reawakening of the GnRH pulse generator at the onset of puberty still have to be elucidated, many genetic and environmental factors have been identified to play a major role. Topics discussed in individual chapters include the endocrine and metabolic issues related to the 'developmental origin of adult disease' hypothesis and polycystic ovary syndrome as well as abnormalities in GnRH controlling genes, GnRH-secreting hamartoma as a model for the onset of puberty, experience on the application of GnRH analogues in the treatment of central precocious puberty, and the psychosocial effects of an early puberty.This volume provides the paediatrician, endocrinologist, gynaecologist and general practitioner with underlying information as well as practical tokens on how to manage the various conditions of a disturbed.
