Cardiovascular Interventions in Clinical Practice

Description

Until the publication of this exciting volume, new treatment modalities in the rapidly growing field of interventional cardiology were described based on individual research findings. Now, a multidisciplinary team of international experts puts catheter-based treatment techniques in context by exploring the pathobiology of specific diseases alongside a discussion of imaging tools and functional tests, and a comparison to alternative treatment approaches provided by cardiovascular surgery. This comprehensive overview of interventional cardiology represents a landmark in the field.
