Frontiers in Myocardia
Frontiers in Myocardia is an eBook series which compiles information about the structure and function of myocardial (the heart muscles) and includes updated reviews on the recent developments in the treatment of associated diseases such as angina, cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Each volume features reviews written by distinguished scientists and physicians from around the world. This series serves as a valuable reference for basic and clinical researchers involved in cardiology and critical care medicine.

Compendium on Cardiomyopathies - Basics, Therapeutics, and Perspectives
Compendium on Cardiomyopathies provides an easily readable source of material for practicing physicians clinicians cardiologists intensivists and emergency medicine specialists. It presents an overview of different cardiomyopathies with information known from the past to the present. Chapters cover different kinds of cardiomyopathies: hypertrophic cardiomyopathies pediatric cardiomyopathies arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy inherited cardiomyopathies Chagas disease Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and more. Readers will be informed about current research on different aspects of these cardiomyopathies such as etiology important imaging methods used in diagnosis and treatment genetics and clinical management. This compendium also introduces the reader to new terms describing groups of cardiomyopathies to enable them to apply modern clinical management principles while treating patients.
Clinical Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications and Future Directions
Nuclear cardiology is critical for the medical evaluation of patients with heart disease. Clinical Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications and Future Directions is the second volume of this series. The volume provides information about the clinical application of imaging techniques (such as SPECT and PET) in clinical practice with the goal of guiding health care professionals to make informed decisions for identifying cardiac risk in patients with heart disease.
The information in the book covers four broad aspects of nuclear cardiology:
- Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy
- Fatty Acid Imaging
- Neurotransmission imaging
- Molecular Imaging and Preventive Medicine
Readers will be equipped with information necessary for understanding the diagnosis and management of a variety of cardiomyopathies through various imaging technologies. This volume is a comprehensive reference for cardiologists and medical imaging technicians involved in clinical settings as well as medical students who require an understanding of the cardiovascular aspects of nuclear medicine.
Septic Cardiomyopathy From Bench-to-Bedside
Frontiers in Myocardia is an eBook series which compiles information about the structure and function of myocardial (the heart muscles) and includes updated reviews on the recent developments in the treatment of associated diseases such as angina cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction.
Advances in research on clinical sepsis in the last few decades have lead to the use of new concepts and treatment paradigms that have been tested and implemented in the clinical setting of Intensive Care Units around the world. An integrative approach towards understanding the pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction in septic patients can therefore lead to better patient outcomes.
The first volume of this series Septic Cardiomyopathy: from bench-to-bedside integrates new and old information about the molecular mechanisms histopathological and electrophysiological alterations with novel findings for diagnosing treating septic cardiomyopathy. This eBook attempts to bridge the gap between basic and clinical scientists and presents new data on different aspects of cardiac physiology during critical illness in a single volume. Chapters in this volume also cover cardiovascular changes that occur as a consequence of sepsis including metabolic mitochondrial arrhythmic changes.
This eBook will add significant value to medical students cardiac physicians and medical scientists engaged in the field of critical care medicine.
