Book excerpt: Anläßlich eines Besuches bei Sir RussELL BROCK in London im Herbst 1956 und während eines Aufenthaltes seines Schülers Donald Ross im Frühjahr 1958 in Marburg a. d. Lahn lernte ich eine Untersuchungsmethode des Herzens und des Kreislaufes kennen, die mich durch ihre Einfachheit und Folgerichtigkeit und durch die hieraus sich ergebenden Schlüsse und Entscheidungen sehr beeindruckte und überzeugte. In dieser Auffassung wurde ich durch die Zustimmung bestärkt, die das Untersuchungsvorgehen von DONALD Ross bei den in der Kardiologie erfahrenen Internisten unseres Marburger Arbeitskreises, den Herren H.E. BOCK, G. SCHETTLER, P. SCHÖLMERICH und E. STEIN, fand. Das Prinzip der von Sir RussELL BROCK und seinen Schülern geübten Unter. suchungstechnik besteht - kurz gesagt - darin, die mit den menschlichen Sinnen erfaßten und durch überlegungen gedeuteten Symptome als wichtigste Grundlage für die Diagnostik der Herzerkrankungen zu betrachten und mit diesen Befunden, deren Feststellung jedem Arzt möglich ist, die Ergebnisse aller technischen Unter· suchungsverfahren (Röntgenuntersuchung, Elektrokardiographie, Phonokardio· graphie, Herzkatheterismus, Angiokardiographie u. a.) in Einklang zu bringen. In einer Zeit der überwertung angeblich objektiver Registrierverfahren ist, glaube ich, eine Erneuerung und Betonung der früheren klassischen Untersuchungen des Herzens im Rahmen der gesamten Herzdiagnostik äußerst nützlich. Zusammen mit dem Springer. Verlag bin ich Herrn DONALD Ross sehr dank· bar, daß er unserer Bitte entsprochen hat, diese Einführung in die moderne Dia· gnostik, die bescheiden als "A Surgeons' Guide to Cardiac Diagnosis" betitelt ist, zu verfassen. Dem vorliegenden Bändchen soll ein zweites über Indikationen und Operationsverfahren der angeborenen und erworbenen Herzerkrankungen folgen.
Download or read book An Illustrated Guide to Congenital Heart Disease written by In Sook Park and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines an exceptional wealth of precise, exquisite schematic drawings and high-quality images with clear explanatory text in order to provide readers with a crisp and clear understanding of all aspects of congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment and from the fetus to the adult. In format the book appears similar to a large collection of case reports covering all types of congenital heart disease, including complex lesions such as single ventricle and atrial isomerism. For each lesion, the illustrations are placed before the text so that the reader can gain a quick and general overview before going into more detail. The contents are as practical and concise as possible. The intention is that, despite its size, the book will serve as a handy reference for cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, obstetricians specializing in fetal sonography, nurses, trainees, students, researchers, and even patients and their families. This is a “must-have” bedside reference in the cardiac ward, the ICU, and the fetal sonography room and will even be valuable in outpatient clinics.

Book excerpt: The definitive guide to heart health from two of America's most respected doctors at Cleveland Clinic, the #1 hospital for heart health in America. Are you one of the eighty-two million Americans currently diagnosed with cardiovascular disease—or one of the millions more who think they are healthy but are at risk? Whether your goal is to get the best treatment or stay out of the cardiologist’s office, your heart's health depends upon accurate information and correct answers to key questions. In Heart 411, two renowned experts, heart surgeon Marc Gillinov and cardiologist Steven Nissen, tackle the questions their patients have raised over their decades of practice: Can the stress of my job really lead to a heart attack? How does exercise help my heart, and what is the right amount and type of exercise? What are the most important tests for my heart, and when do I need them? How do symptoms and treatments differ among men, women, and children? Backed by decades of clinical experience and up-to-the-minute research, yet written in the accessible, down-to-earth tone of your trusted family doctor, Heart 411 cuts through the confusion to give you the knowledge and tools you need to live a long and heart-healthy life.
Download or read book Heart Health written by J Shah and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that heart disease is the most common cause of death gets misinterpreted to mean that any and all heart condition is an imminent danger to life and needs to be aggressively tested and treated. In the absence of good, trustworthy information, patients are guided mostly by their gut reaction and instincts when they are diagnosed with heart disease. With the misperception that more is better, they all too often end up relying on the test and treatment recommendations of their harried healthcare provider, who could well be influenced by accepted norms, cognitive biases, legal concerns, or economic considerations, whether consciously or not. Such decisions and recommendations lead to thegross overuse of cardiac procedures, even when the risks of test and treatment can be worse than the disease itself. Dr. Jignesh Shah explores the various tests and treatments available to cardiac patients and reveals those that are most helpful, those that are likely unnecessary, and those that should be pursued only in certain circumstances. Using real life stories, he helps readers to cultivate a better understanding of heart disease and guides them to make better decisions for their care based on their own needs and medical situations. He helps to correct the misconceptions that have guided and misguided patients for years.
