Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible book encompasses the technology involved in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. It is intended to facilitate an understanding of the technology encountered in a modern cardiac diagnostic center, and to break down the barriers encountered by many students in training. The author has acknowledged that not all institutions possess the most advanced and expensive equipment, and has therefore included selected technology less up-to-date. This book will also be invaluable for all paramedical professionals involved in cardiology and related fields, including clinical technologists, cardiac nurses, radiographers and initiate physicians.

Download or read book Essentials of Bedside Cardiology written by Jules Constant and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-11-19 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essentials of Bedside Cardiology, Second Edition, like the first edition, is designed for those who wish to balance technological advances with increased personal skill in history taking and physical examination. It is important to teach physicians that all technologies now in use for diagnosing cardiovascular disorders, such as echocardiography, can have false positive and false negative results. It is not always wise to rely on these technologies alone; indeed, they may not even be available in some settings. Even when the full panoply of up-to-date techniques is at the physician's disposal, the patient may not be a good candidate for an echocardiogram, or the technician or reader may not be well qualified, or the equipment itself may be substandard. Technology must be combined with physical examination to decide what is true and what is false. The practice of expert history taking and physical examination returns the physician to the actual patient, where the physician can feel like a "real doctor" rather than a mere interpreter of laboratory data. Essentials of Bedside Cardiology, Second Edition, strives to teach and not simply to tell the facts, relying on three basic methods derived from the psychology of teaching and learning: 1. Explain the facts. 2. Use a question and answer format-the Socratic method. 3. Provide tricks or mnemonics to help the reader remember the facts.

Download or read book Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology written by Robert C. Hendel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-03-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively revised edition of this important textbook provides a practical approach to the use of nuclear cardiology for the general cardiologist. It is an adjunct to the existing literature in nuclear cardiology, providing a simple case-based approach to understanding the methodology, application and outcomes of the modality, and representing a pocket-sized compendium designed for a clinical cardiology audience. Nuclear cardiology procedures have been a mainstay in noninvasive testing for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease for many years. Although a mature field with a multitude of clinical applications, the advances in the technology and imaging procedures have been remarkable and important to document. Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology: Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET reviews the important indications for choosing nuclear cardiology procedures and provides a description of the procedures themselves, including both SPECT and PET imaging protocols, as well as supplying readers with a the key readings resources. It emphasizes how noninvasive testing results can be used clinically and the appropriateness of such techniques using a concise and logical structure, vital for trainees, practicing physicians, nurses and technologists looking for a brief, up-to-date overview and reference volume for nuclear cardiology. It therefore represents an essential reference for a large number of cardiologists internationally looking for information in the field.
