Global Atlas on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Control by Shanthi Mendis,Pekka Puska,Bo Norrving,World Health Organization Pdf

"As the magnitude of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to accelerate globally, the pressing need for increased awareness and for stronger and more focused international and country responses is increasingly recognized. This atlas on cardiovascular disease prevention and control is part of the response to this need. It documents the magnitude of the problem, using global cardiovascular mortality and morbidity data. It demonstrates the inequities in access to protection, exposure to risk, and access to care as the cause of major inequalities between countries and populations in the occurrence and outcome of CVDs. The report has graphs showing mortality rates of CVDs by age, by country/region, and is divided into three main sections: Section A: Cardiovascular diseases due to atherosclerosis -- Section B: Other cardiovascular diseases -- Section C: Prevention and control of CVDs: Policies, strategies and interventions."--Provided by publisher.

Diagnostic Atlas of the Heart by John Willis Hurst,Joseph S. Alpert,Robert Henry Anderson,Anton E. Becker,Benson R. Wilcox Pdf

This extraordinary full-color atlas is a comprehensive pictorial review of cardiovascular disease processes and a guide to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. More than 40 of the world's foremost experts on cardiovascular disease have joined forces to produce an atlas that sharply focuses on the pathophysiology, natural history, and diagnosis of diseases. The book provides complete coverage of the entire spectrum of disorders of the cardiovascular system and diseases of the heart, arteries, and veins--including cardiovascular changes associated with hypertension, aging, pregnancy, substance abuse, and other conditions.More than 1,100 beautifully reproduced full-color photographs vividly depict the details of each disease process and demonstrate the most efficient diagnostic approaches. The photographs show the clinician precisely what changes to look for in a patient suspected of having a particular disease and clearly reveal the important, often subtle clues that point to a diagnosis. The figure legends and succinct, lucid text explain the significance of the abnormalities shown in the photographs.This atlas is the only reference that offers a true-to-life pictorial view of the full range of cardiovascular pathophysiology seen in clinical practice. It will serve as an invaluable visual supplement to standard cardiology texts and will assist clinicians in reaching rapid, accurate diagnoses.Note: A companion slide set, designed for use as a teaching device, is also available.

Clinico-Pathological Atlas of Cardiovascular Diseases by Joaquín S. Lucena,Pablo García-Pavía,M. Paz Suarez-Mier,Luis A. Alonso-Pulpon Pdf

The objective of this Atlas is to contribute to the knowledge of morphological findings of the main cardiovascular diseases among the various specialists who deal with people affected of heart diseases: cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons, clinical and forensic pathologists, coroners, sports medicine doctors. The interest in cardiovascular pathology, neglected for years in many countries, is increasing worldwide and we are witnessing the revitalization of a discipline, which, in collaboration with clinicians, is making great contributions to the fight against heart diseases and sudden-unexpected deaths. This atlas of cardiovascular diseases is the result of close collaboration between Spanish specialists in cardiology and in cardiovascular pathology and describes the clinical and pathologic features (gross and histopathologial) of major cardiovascular diseases in adults, especially those acquired, but also treat relevant congenital anomalies. This book contains 635 images, 78 tables and graphics distributed in 12 chapters across the spectrum of diseases that can be found in each of the structures of the cardiovascular system (aorta, pulmonary vessels, coronaries, valves, myocardium, pericardium and conduction system). The coordinated work of forensic pathologists from different cities in Spain and cardiologists (primarily from the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro de Madrid) has assembled in all chapters their two worlds (forensic pathology and cardiology) to achieve a practical work with the aim to serve as a practical tool for multiple specialists.

Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease by Maude E. Abbott Pdf

The American Heart Association published Maude Abbott's Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease in 1936. The Atlas was an important contribution to the understanding of cardiac defects and helped provide the stimulus for rapid advances in the diagnostic, physiologic, and surgical aspects of congenital heart disease over the following decades. These advances have since progressed to such a degree that, given current radiologic imaging and surgical techniques, many of the anomalies illustrated in the Atlas are rarely seen as complete morphologic specimens. This reprinting of the Atlas underlines the importance of Abbott's contribution for the present generation. This reprint includes a short history of Abbott's life and how she came to create the Atlas, including a discussion of the material she used for her 1934 London Exhibit, which served as the basis for the Atlas. The original text and illustrations are enhanced by color prints of fifty-five specimens in the Abbott Collection of the McGill Pathology Museum. Re-publication of the Atlas in 2006 coincides with the 100th anniversary of the the International Academy of Pathology, which Abbott co-founded.

Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease by Syed Wamique Yusuf,Jose Banchs Pdf

The atlas provides a clear, concise, yet comprehensive review of common cardiovascular diseases occurring in patients with cancer. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are the two most common conditions worldwide. In clinical practice we frequently encounter patients who have established cardiovascular disease and subsequently develop cancer or are survivors of cancer with subsequent cardiovascular complications related to chemotherapy and or radiation. Most of the chapters are case based, followed by images and a discussion on current (evidence based, wherever available) investigations and treatment outline.
