The Committee on Sudden Cardiac Death of the American Heart Association, and the Councils on Clinical Cardiology, Nursing and Basic Science have joined together to produce this landmark text. It takes a truly multidisciplinary approach to the diagnoses and management of patients at high risk for life-threatening dysrhythmias, superbly presenting the pathophysiological, diagnostic and pharmacological aspects of patient management and is well complemented by an in- depth review of research on patient and family responses to the illness and its treatment. Two features make this book of particular value: its focus on innovative approaches to achieve optimal outcomes; and its appropriateness for a diverse range of medical professionals. This book will be much appreciated both as a reference and textbook for nurses, physicians, investigators and students who are seeking cutting-edge reviews in virtually every area related to sudden cardiac death.

Noncompliance is a significant problem in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Compliance in Healthcare and Research, edited by Lora E. Burke, PhD, MPH, RN and Ira S. Ockene, MD, is unique in that it addresses the problem of compliance across three levels: the cardiovascular patient, the health care provider, and the healthcare organization. Moreover, this book examines very current and classic issues, such as the role of managed care in compliance, use of standards in assessing health outcomes, and use of the "intention to treat" strategy in analyzing compliance data. The expert authors not only describe the problems at each level of compliance, but also provide empirically-based strategies for addressing the problems. Additionally, individual chapters focus on specific population groups (such as children, minorities, and the obese); on clinical and research settings; and on methodology, such as measurement techniques and statistical analyses of compliance data. This diverse book should be used by all healthcare professionals and providers aiming to enhance compliance, healthcare managers wishing to address compliance from an organizational or policy level, and researchers interested in describing and measuring compliance, as well as interventionists interested in testing theoretically-based constructs.

A thorough exploration of the interaction between erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and the pulmonary vasculature in a variety of disease states-an important topic not addressed by other books. The lungs accommodate the entire cardiac output, and the pulmonary vessels are well known for their metabolic and endocrine functions, as well as gas exchange. The interaction of the pulmonary circulation with the cellular elements of blood has received less attention. Interactions of Blood and the Pulmonary Circulation covers many topics of interest to the clinician. In particular, chapters on sickle cell anemia provide a wealth of information on mechanisms of vascular occlusion, suggesting new approaches to treatment for the cardiologist and the pulmonary and intensive care physician. Intensivists will also enjoy the chapters on the role of leukocytes and inflammation in lung injury, and those on the contribution of platelets and thrombosis in pulmonary hypertension. The long-term management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is covered in detail. This book will be of special interest to pulmonary and intensive care physicians, cardiologists, hematologists, and vascular biologists.

With the rapid development of the field of cardiac biomarkers comes a need for updated guidance on how to use them clinically. Drs. Adams, Jaffe, and Apple meet that need with this timely reference. Taking a case-oriented approach for the greatest clinical relevance, the book bridges the gap between science and practice. If you use – or want to use – cardiac markers such as BNP and troponin to help your patients, you will find this clear and comprehensive reference provides a dependable source of valuable information. The 19 chapters are divided into three parts: • Cardiac Troponins • Natriuretic Peptides • Contemporary Markers of Risk The authors cover the technical, clinical, and outcome assessments for each marker used in clinical practice. After each case scenario, an extensive discussion explains the clinical decisions and provides valuable context.
