Diagnostic Atlas Of The Heart
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. Note: A companion slide set, designed for use as a teaching device, is also available.
