Produktbeschreibung

Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are the conditions of the cardiovascular system. Some CVDs involve only the blood vessels, such as peripheral arterial disease, coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, etc. Many other CVDs involve the heart like hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, cardiac dysrhythmias, etc. This may include stroke, hypertensive heart disease, heart failure, carditis, etc. Age, smoking, diabetes, sex, blood lipids and blood pressure are important predictors of cardiovascular diseases. Any existing cardiovascular condition or a past cardiovascular event like a stroke or a heart attack can imply a future cardiovascular event. ECGs, echocardiography, cardiac stress testing and myocardial perfusion imaging are common assessment techniques of cardiovascular disorders. Blood pressure medications, statins and anti-diabetic medications are some medications, which significantly reduce the risk of CVDs in people. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the assessment and treatment of cardiovascular disorders. It presents the complex subject of CVD in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
