Product Description
This is the first book to deal exclusively with the problem of arrhythmia in patients with Congential Heart Disease (CHD) and provide state-of-the-art information on diagnosis and management.Written mainly by a panel of pediatric cardiologists and electrophysiologists, who also take care of adults with CHD, it bridges the gap between the management of pediatric and adult arrhythmias. The book opens with a general discussion of CHD and the cardiac electrical system before moving on to cover the pathogenesis of CHD and the mechanisms that underlie individual arrhythmias. Section Two deals with commonly encountered CHD sub-populations and the arrhythmias specific to these patients. The third section of the book deals with therapy, outlining all the various options available for management of these patients. ... Read more

Highlights from Complications During Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease include:

Product Description

This book will provide both an evidence base and practical recommendations for the treatment of patients with congenital heart disease. It will be a resource to all health care providers, including pediatric cardiologists, pediatric intensivists, pediatric heart surgeons, fetal specialists, maternal fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, nurses, advanced practice nurses, in addition to trainees in the field.

It will summarize world knowledge on the topic of heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease. It will provide an in depth analysis of the current methods of diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. Now that surgical results are at record success rates, more patients with congenital heart disease are surviving, and thus at risk for sequelae from their disease, including heart failure.

It will provide evidence based and practical recommendations to the practitioner for the management of heart failure signs and symptoms.

Excerpt: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a form of congenital heart defect that enables blood flow between the left and right atria via the interatrial septum. The interatrial septum is the tissue that divides the right and left atria. Without this septum, or if there is a defect in this septum, it is possible for blood to travel from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, or vice versa. Irrespective of interatrial communication bi-directions, this results in the mixing of arterial and venous blood. The mixing of arterial and venous blood may or may not be hemodynamically significant, if even clinically significant. This mixture of blood may or may not result in what is known as a "shunt". The amount of shunting present, if any, dictates hemodynamic significance (see Pathophysiology below). A "right-to-left-shunt" typically poses the more dangerous scenario (se...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=667634 ... Read more

Product Description
The rapidly growing population of adults surviving with congenital heart lesions along with the success of interventional cardiology in the child and adolescent has spawned an incredible interest in adapting the technology for the adult congenital patients.

Dr. Mullins, a pioneer in this area, has written an outstanding reference which covers all aspects of performing diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization procedures on patients of all ages.

This illustrated book details the equipment and techniques for performing safe and successful procedures, with a strong emphasis on avoiding complications. It also includes the requirements of a catheterization laboratory for congenital heart patients, as well as guidance for setting up and operating such a laboratory.

Cardiac Catheterization in Congenital Heart Disease serves as an essential manual for pediatric and adult interventional cardiologists worldwide. ... Read more

Amazing Physician
I do not own this book, but I can personally vouch for Dr. Mullins. He was my cardiologist for the first 20 years of my life. I am now 30. This man was the most incredible doctor, not only knowledgable in his field, but an awsome person in general.Every cardiologist I have seen since has either been trained by him personally or has been somehow involved in his curiculum. I believe anyone in this field would benefit from his book. I just felt the need to say this. Thank you.

Amazing!
This is a excelent book for trainning interventional cardiologists. There are all the tips and tricks for a better exams.

Born with a broken heart
This is an amazing book to have in an exteamly difficult time . My children and I love it and it helped prepare them for there brother comming into the world with a broken heart.

This book is for a GREAT cause!Children's Heart Fund In Memory of Alex at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
It is our honor to share Alex's story with the world and to spread CHD awareness. We hope you are able to share Alex's story with your family and friends.

100% profit will go to Alex's Heart Fund at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center!

"Children's Heart Fund in Memory of Alexander Xavier Gallegos" at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

This fund will provide financial assistance to families of "blue babies" who, like Alex, are born with a heart condition that makes them turn bluish or purplish from lack of oxygen. Some of these families travel many miles so that their babies can receive the specialized care that they need at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The Children's Heart Fund will be managed by Alex's heart surgeon, Dr. Greg Fontana, and will help families in need with costs like medications, fuel, meals, and lodging while their babies are in the hospital.

Our hope is that the Children's Heart Fund will continue to grow every year so that it can ultimately be big enough to fund important medical research in pediatric cardiology as well. We would also like to be able to cover the transportation and escorting costs for one child per year to come to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from Central or South America and receive otherwise unavailable heart surgery.

For now, however, we are grateful to help families in smaller, but still important, ways.

Thank you for your Support! ... Read more
