Coronary Artery Disease: Therapeutics and Drug Discovery by Miao Wang Pdf

This book provides an overview of the etiology of coronary artery disease and focuses on the main therapies and drug interventions currently available. It highlights drug pharmacology and therapeutic challenges, with a special emphasis on the underlying principles of available therapeutics and the on-going development of drugs for coronary artery disease. The book is divided into eight chapters, the first of which describes the classical mechanism of coronary artery disease and its clinical presentations. Chapter 2 lists the principles of and related evidence on the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease. This includes diet and lifestyle management, and guidelines for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease. In turn, Chapter 3 describes revascularization treatments, covering percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary artery bypass grafts and thrombolysis. This chapter also addresses the main therapeutic challenges. The following chapters provide an overview of three major categories of coronary artery disease drugs, which target thrombosis (Chapter 4), lipid metabolism (Chapter 5), and hypertension (Chapter 6). Heart failure constitutes the major health burden in the late stage of coronary artery disease; accordingly, current heart failure therapeutics and related drug pharmacology are described in Chapter 7. In closing, Chapter 8 provides a summary of on-going clinical trials for coronary artery disease drug development and discusses a number of promising areas in which intensive research into new therapeutics is being pursued. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to clinicians, medical students and research scientists, as well as to pharmaceutical professionals who are seeking new therapies and drugs for coronary artery disease and related disorders.

Therapeutics in Cardiology by Antonio Bayés de Luna,A. Betriu,G. Permanyer Pdf

Therapy in cardiology has advanced enormously in recent years. This has resulted in the organization of many meetings and the publication of numerous books dedicated to examining the latest aspects of, for instance, pharmacolog ic, electrical and surgical treatment. However, only a few of these meetings and publications have attempted to present an overall review of all advances that have taken place in the field of therapy. In the last years the Spanish Society of Cardiology has shown a great interest in the continuous medical education in cardiology. The Society has organized various meetings and has published several books on the above-mentioned topics. Consequently, the Society has decided to publish this book, an update of the therapeutics in cardiology, of which a Spanish version is also available. World renowned experts and outstanding Spanish cardiologists were invited to review all aspects of therapy in cardiology. We would like to thank the Spanish Society of Cardiology and the Catalan Cardiac Society for the generous assistance they have given us during all stages of book preparation. We also would like to express our appreciation to all the authors for their valuable contributions. Their combined efforts enable us to put this volume in the hands of the reader.

Drugs in the Management of Heart Disease by A. Breckenridge Pdf

In any textbook, basic scientific knowledge, and the art of clinical practice should be brought together in a rational manner and this volume on cardio vascular therapy attempts to achieve this aim. It deals with five selected areas - hypertension, angina and coronary artery disease, heart failure and anticoa gulant therapy. Clearly not all branches of cardiovascular therapeutics could be included; a separate section on anti-arrhythmic drugs is noticeably absent but it is proposed that this omission will be rectified in other volumes in the series. In general, textbooks on therapeutics tend to be ephemeral; as new discoveries are made and evaluated, medical practice changes. This volume then summarizes current opinion up to mid 1984 and gives, we believe, a reasoned account of present views. The contributors are all clinical pharma cologists with a wealth of clinical experience. The therapeutic advice given is well founded and the underlying scientific basis is clearly explained. The book is aimed at postgraduates, but should the undergraduate care to dip into it, we hope he will be informed and thereby educated. A. Breckenridge vii Series Editor's Note The last few decades have seen an explosion in our knowledge of cardiovas cular disease as a result of research in many disciplines. The tempo of research is ever increasing, so that it is becoming more and more difficult for one person to encompass the whole spectrum of the advances taking place on many fronts.

Pharmacologic Trends of Heart Failure by Hector O. Ventura Pdf

This volume reviews potential future therapies for heart failure, with a particular focus on ambulatory acute decompensated heart failure and the transitions from therapies in the acute setting to chronic management. Although in the developed world the incidence of and mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke have been declining over the last 15 years, heart failure is increasing in incidence, prevalence and overall mortality, despite advances in the diagnosis and management of the condition. Pharmacologic Trends of Heart Failure builds on the current understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and insights gained from previous studies of therapeutic interventions. It is designed to establish the baseline level of knowledge that a cardiovascular professional needs to know on a day-to-day basis.
