Textbook of Clinical Hemodynamics

• Provides a disease-oriented assessment of waveform data that demonstrates how both qualitative and quantitative interpretation can affect clinical decision making.
• Features extensive updates throughout, with greatly expanded coverage of aortic valve disorders (TAVI) and left-ventricular hemodynamics, heart failure, and shock.
• Contains two new chapters: Diastology, with cardiac catheterization findings and echocardiographic depictions of diastolic function in health and disease states; and Bedside Hemodynamic Monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit, focusing on indications, procedural aspects, available options, and the clinical utility of hemodynamic monitoring in the critically ill patient.
• More than 100 brand-new, full-color images provide clear visuals for a more complete understanding of complex concepts.
• Covers the most recent advances in the field, with emphasis on mitral and aortic valvular heart disease, coronary hemodynamics, cardiogenic shock, pulmonary hypertension, and mechanical circulatory support—all areas that have seen the most recent growth and change.
• Includes an updated Easy Reference Appendix with clinically useful formulas and data.
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
