The book is divided in sections, first reviewing the updated epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical approach to advanced heart failure, then the medical and surgical therapies respectively, and finally exploring the controversies and modern advancements in the field. Topics includes advancements in our understanding and treatment of patients supported with ventricular assist devices including protocol for gastrointestinal bleeding, blood pressure management, anticoagulation practices, and management of valvular disease during LVAD support. It includes use of Entresto, a novel agent used in heart failure, and use of remote monitoring such as the Cardiomems system. From a surgical standpoint, there are new technologies in this space including fully implantable LVADs on the horizon, and the Sherpapak system for maintaining cold temperature during donor organ transport. Hepatitis C positive donors are being used now for heart transplantation as well. The book serves as the ultimate reference to patient care with advanced heart failure by covering both medical and surgical therapies in the same volume, suitable for cardiologists, clinicians, surgeons, and researchers alike.

Download or read book New Solutions for the Heart written by Bruno K. Podesser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cardiac surgery has made an enormous progress during the last decades, the discipline has to cope with essential changes: Patients are increasingly cared for by cardiologists and therefore referred to the surgeon in a later stage of disease. Consequently, they are more often in an increasingly serious state or in advanced age with significant comorbidities. In order to meet the requirements of these different patient groups, cardiosurgical treatments require special protectional strategies for the heart in order to perform the planned operations safely. This book presents the latest knowledge of modern techniques of myocardial protection taking into consideration the different patient groups and current scientific strategies. Furthermore, it discusses present and future scientific approaches in myocardial protection and preservation.
