Download or read book The Conduction System of the Heart written by Hein J.J. Wellens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph had its genesis in a workshop on the specific conduction held in the spring of 1975. The meeting was organized to discuss present knowledge on structure and function of the cardiac specialized tissues with emphasis on their clinical implications. Since much new information was presented, the participants agreed to prepare manuscripts and make their material available for publication. This has resulted in a book in which the cardiac specialized tissues are discussed by different specialists: the electron-microscopist, anatomist, pathologist, physiologist, physicist and clinician. Apart from their interest in the cardiac conduction system the participants shared the opinion that their contribu tion should be relevant to the understanding and treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The book should be useful for the clinician, the morphologist and the physio logist. The workshop took place at the University Department of Cardiology, Wilhelmina Gasthuis, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This is the home ground of one of the most outstanding electro cardiologists of our time, Dr. Dirk Durrer. By pairing genius and originality with endless fund of energy and dogged persistence he made several important contributions to modern cardiac electrophysiology. In recent years he created a cardio logical institute where workers from various disciplines cooperate in the study and treat ment of cardiac disease. Several of his pupils participated in the workshop and contributed to this volume. In appreciation and thankfulness we want to dedicate this book to Dr. Dirk Durrer.

Download or read book Development of the Cardiac Conduction System written by Derek J. Chadwick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-01-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pacemaking and conduction system (PCS) is vital for generating and synchronizing the heart beat. Dysfunction of this system can be a direct cause of cardiac conduction disturbance, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. A wealth of information has been collected over many years on the unique histological, morphological and phenotypic characteristics of specialized cardiac tissues. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern development of the PCS are now starting to be understood. This book draws together contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of experts working on both basic and clinical aspects of cardiac development. It features reviews of the structure and function of the developing PCS, discussion of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating embryological development of this system and studies on the fundamental basis of PCS pathology. The book also considers how novel therapeutic interventions based on understanding of the developmental biology of cardiac pacemaking and conduction tissues might ultimately impact on clinical medicine.

Download or read book Clinico Pathological Atlas of Cardiovascular Diseases written by Joaquín S. Lucena and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this Atlas is to contribute to the knowledge of morphological findings of the main cardiovascular diseases among the various specialists who deal with people affected of heart diseases: cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons, clinical and forensic pathologists, coroners, sports medicine doctors. The interest in cardiovascular pathology, neglected for years in many countries, is increasing worldwide and we are witnessing the revitalization of a discipline, which, in collaboration with clinicians, is making great contributions to the fight against heart diseases and sudden-unexpected deaths. This atlas of cardiovascular diseases is the result of close collaboration between Spanish specialists in cardiology and in cardiovascular pathology and describes the clinical and pathologic features (gross and histopathologial) of major cardiovascular diseases in adults, especially those acquired, but also treat relevant congenital anomalies. This book contains 635 images, 78 tables and graphics distributed in 12 chapters across the spectrum of diseases that can be found in each of the structures of the cardiovascular system (aorta, pulmonary vessels, coronaries, valves, myocardium, pericardium and conduction system). The coordinated work of forensic pathologists from different cities in Spain and cardiologists (primarily from the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro de Madrid) has assembled in all chapters their two worlds (forensic pathology and cardiology) to achieve a practical work with the aim to serve as a practical tool for multiple specialists.

Download or read book Cardiac Electrophysiology Methods and Models written by Daniel C. Sigg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-11 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in the Western Hemisphere. While significant progress has been made in treating a major sub-category of cardiac disease, arrhythmias, significant unmet needs remain. In particular, every day, thousands of patients die because of arrhythmias in the US alone, and atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting millions of patients in the US alone at a given time. Therefore, there is a public need to continue to develop new and better therapies for arrhythmias. Accordingly, an ever increasing number of biomedical, pharmaceutical, and medical personnel is interested in studying various aspects of arrhythmias at a basic, translational, and applied level, both in industry (ie Biotech, Pharmaceutical and device), and in academia. Not only has our overall understanding of molecular bases of disease dramatically increased, but so has the number of available and emerging molecular, pharmacological or device treatment based therapies. This practical, state-of-the art handbook will summarize and review key research methods and protocols, their advantages and pitfalls, with a focus on practical implementation, and collaborative cross-functional research. The volume will include visual and easy-to-use graphics, bulleted summaries, boxed summary paragraphs, links to reference websites, equipment manufacturers where appropriate, photographs of typical experimental setups and so forth, to keep this book very focused on practical methods and implementation, and yet, provide enough theory that the principles are clearly understood and can be easily applied.

Download or read book Cardiac Surgery and the Conduction System written by Saroja Bharati and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1992-04-16 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac Surgery and the Conduction System, 2nd Edition encapsulates the present knowledge of the conduction system as it applies to most cardiac operations that are performed today. In 11 sections, this edition gives the surgical view of the anatomy of the conduction system in various types of congenital abnormalities of the heart in a diagrammatic manner, and provides an in-depth view of this system. This is accomplished by the actual drawings of the course of the conduction system in the heart specimen itself, and by the histologic pictures of this system, especially the AV bundle, as it related to the defect and/or the specific anomaly. A review of the conduction system is provided to help orient the surgeon, followed by numerous descriptions and illustrations designed to enable the surgeon to visualize the various components of the conduction system in any operation as he looks through the surgical exposure. This ability should allow the surgeon to plan and execute the operation with little or no damage to this vital system. Enhanced by additional photographs elaborating the course of the conduction system, this volume gives essential information to help cardiac surgeons and cardiologists increase their knowledge of this important system.
