Challenges for the treatment of valvular heart disease include the growing need for effective yet less invasive interventions and therapies to treat these progressive conditions. With the development of potential new treatments, it is crucial for cardiac
physicians to be well informed on the pathophysiology, assessment, treatment options and their outcomes of valvular diseases. Written by a highly experienced and internationally recognized group of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and researchers, Valvular Heart Disease offers insights into the widely varying hemodynamic effects and clinical course of heart valve conditions, as well as the contemporary management of these conditions. Offering a broad perspective on these diseases, Valvular Heart Disease expands on the recent guidelines developed by the major heart societies in the United State and Europe.

In this 10,200 word e-book I address nine common health conditions, affecting millions of Americans and many others worldwide. While this resource is not intended to replace diagnosis and treatment by medical professionals, it does provide a source of general information on these commonly experienced health disorders.

Most patients desire an informative overview of the disease affecting them and a general idea about the diagnosis and treatments that are administered for it. It was my intention through this e-book, to provide such an information resource in regard to health disorders that often have lifelong effects.

The health disorders addressed in the chapters:

Metabolic Syndrome
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Hypothyroidism
Pernicious Anemia
Sjogren’s Syndrome
Adrenal Insufficiency
