Download or read book Evidence based Management of Hypertension written by Matthew R Weir, and published by tfm Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The treatment of hypertension is now evolving into a decision-making process of ever greater complexity. Not only has the range of drugs available increased but so too has our knowledge of the diversity of individual patients' responsiveness to therapy, and the need to tailor their treatment with reference to a wide variety of additional factors. In order to provide effective patient care, the clinician needs to be aware of all the options available, but also of the evidence supporting their use and the extent to which that evidence justifies the choices made. In this new volume, leading authorities in their fields draw on the available evidence to provide answers to a series of key clinical questions facing the clinician treating hypertension: Should we treat prehypertension? How does the choice of therapy change in the presence of comorbidities such as obesity, ischemic heart disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, diabetes or cerebrovascular disease? Evidence-based Management of Hypertension provides answers to these and many other questions, as the authors present an expert analysis of the available evidence and offer authoritative recommendations for treatment planning. In each chapter, tables highlight evidence from a variety of sources, and every chapter concludes with a series of key practice points that present a summary of evidence-based recommendations for best practice, graded according to the quality of that evidence. For any clinician concerned with the care of the hypertensive patient, this volume will be a valuable aid to treatment planning and long-term management.

It also received a Highly Commended Award at the British Medical Association (BMA) Medical Book Awards and has been placed on the US Thoracic Surgery Directors Association (TSDA) recommended reading list for American cardiothoracic surgery residents and fellows. Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery provides a systematic overview of the important topics in contemporary adult cardiac surgical practice.

This illustrated concise text is a practical and clinically focused book that covers all the key questions in cardiac surgery. Additional chapters on statistics and pulmonary embolism have been included, with the main chapters having been updated describing contemporary surgical techniques and management philosophies. Whilst being an ideal reference for cardiac surgical trainees and residents, especially when undertaking their cardiothoracic surgery board examinations, this book is also of great value to other specialties involved in the care of cardiac surgical patients, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic intensivists, nurses and physiotherapists. Here are just a few of the reviews on the 1st edition: “Although this book is aimed at cardiac surgical trainees and residents, the authors’ refreshing approach of posing questions and answers as a teaching tool makes this a joy to read for someone who has been practising cardiac surgery for over 30 years. It is beautifully presented with exceptionally clear diagrams interposed with photographs, a combination which works well. Overall, this is an exceptionally well produced book which is a delight to read and is likely to run to several more editions.” Professor of Cardiac Surgery, Royal Brompton Hospital, London, UK on behalf of the British Journal of Cardiology “I recommend this book for cardiac surgery trainees, full-fledged surgeons, and also for other medical practitioners wanting a brief and precise overview into our speciality, without having to pick up heavy textbooks and spend precious time searching for information.” Professor of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology "The title of this book Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery is appropriate since it covers systematically all questions asked in examinations or during the ward round. It is written in a question-answer format which makes it interesting to read. The illustrations are very good. The diagrams have been made in such a way that they provide a surgeon’s view. This book is based on the guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, and incorporates facts based on current scientific literature. Each chapter has a list of key scientific references for further reading. We would recommend this book as a companion for all cardiac surgery and cardiology trainees, perfusionists and cardiac anaesthesiologists. Overall, this book provides a practical and new approach to understand adult cardiac surgery." Professor of Cardiac Surgery & Editor-in-Chief on behalf of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery "A wonderful book. I have been looking for such a book for a very long time. It gives a global view on all aspects of adult cardiac surgery with emphasis on the important points. It is written in a very smooth and easy way. Its size is perfect so it can be carried everywhere. In my opinion, it is a must-have book if one is preparing for the speciality exam. Junior and senior trainees will also find it helpful during their career." Waterstones review “...it is a definite 'must have' for all cardiac surgery trainees. It not only covers practical issues but also those areas that are favourites of examiners! It will also be of use to those experienced cardiac surgeons who have to take recertification exams (in the US) or for those who are simply looking for questions (and the answers) to throw out on ward rounds!” Amazon review “What a fantastic book that covers all the important topics for everyday practice in cardiac surgery. It answers all the questions asked on a ward round and also the exams, and is perfect to read between cases or whilst on call. The book is written in a concise, structured and easy to read manner. The best part of the book is its colour illustrations, and the text!!! They seem to have been drawn from a surgical perspective and beautifully illustrate the important features when operating. On top of that, the book has hundreds of cardiac investigations images that demonstrate all the different pathologies.” Amazon review “Covering all aspects of cardiothoracic surgery by highlighting the most important details, for sure it can be the guide for every cardiothoracic trainee. Easy to read and understand, perfect illustrations and full of secrets and details that only experienced surgeons would be aware off.” Amazon review “This is an amazing book. It is the only text I came across that puts all the important information in one place without having to dig around the internet or several textbooks. The book is very well written with a simple question and answer style that also lends itself to reading in small segments as well as concentrated revision. It comprehensively covers the basic sciences, cardiac investigations, cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac surgical diseases and the post-operative management of these patients. It answers all the questions that are asked in the operating room, on rounds or in an oral examination. Unlike other revision texts, this book has an amazing array of colour images, both illustrations and real radiology/cardiology investigations which help to explain the key concepts. Surgical anatomy and technique is clearly demonstrated. The book also has a fantastic collection of all the seminal publications important for contemporary cardiac practice, especially in the coronary artery disease and heart failure chapters. It also includes all the up-to-date American and European guidelines, including the recently published ESC coronary revascularisation recommendations.” Amazon review
