In India, 20 percent of all cardiac surgical cases are valvular in nature and Rheumatic Heart Disease is like an epidemic as far greater number of patients have disease that is managed medically. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an invaluable tool to diagnose valve lesions today preoperatively, perioperatively, and postoperatively and TEE for the right sided valves is an ...
The purpose of Transesophageal Echocardiography of Congenital Heart Diseases is to provide the definitive advanced reference text on the diagnostic utility of echocardiography in clinical practice. Put simply, the book reflects our role as clinicians caring for patients with congenital heart disease. The clinical information in the book will be of value to all cardiovascular specialists, anesthetists and surgeons not just those focused on cardiovascular imaging.

The most striking feature of the revised edition is vast improvement in the clarity of illustrations. New ECG strips have been taken from the latest (fourth) edition of the book ECG Made Easy. Real ECHO images have been incorporated from the latest (third) edition of the book ECHO Made Easy. Besides the illustrations, useful clinical details have been added in the section of discussion that follows each case description. Some precious clinical pearls on cardiac ...
With detecting anomalies becoming more challenging and cardiac anomalies on the rise, it becomes essential to know the complete cardiac anatomy evaluation. With a beating heart, it becomes more difficult to evaluate it. For anybody doing ultrasounds, it is the fetal heart which is the most difficult because of change in the fetal position. If a proper methodology is worked on one can confidently say that one is looking at a normal heart though always with a few ...

The positive feature of book includes innovative and proven effective teaching methods with the use of recordings of not only heart sounds and murmurs but also the actual video-recordings of both normal and abnormal jugular pulsations as well the precordial pulsations together with arterial flow signals and/or the heart sounds for timing of the events in relation to the cardiac cycle.
Every important topic has a summary of salient and practical points from the ...
The book is organized into several sections dealing with clinical cardiology, noninvasive cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery and the future frontiers. The section on clinical cardiology begins with various chapters dealing with preventive, diagnostic and management aspects of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. Epidemiology and risk factors, such as diet, physical activity, tobacco use, obesity, stress, homocysteine, ...
Pediatric echocardiography is coming up in a major way, because of an increased awareness of early diagnosis and management of congenital heart diseases, especially the life-threatening ones. Pediatric echocardiography technique, though simple, requires a trained pediatric echocardiographer. It is an uncomplicated, noninvasive and low-cost technique providing a correct hemodynamic status of the heart, thus reducing the requirement of cardiac catheterization, ...
The descriptions in the book are written in simple terms. We have done away with intricate molecular biology and genetics. We have attempted to maintain a proper balance between edside medicine and special investigatory tests for diagnosis in stagewise manner so that students of different grades will understand the subject clearly.
The field of cardiac sciences has made significant progress over last few decades in the diagnosis and management of various fatal conditions. These advances have made possible considerable decrease in morbidity and mortality of conditions once considered fatal. The book Recent Advances in Cardiothoracic Surgery–I has been conceptualized to provide up-to-date knowledge on topics that are not so well described in cardiothoracic surgery texts.
The practice of interventional cardiology in India and around the world is presently undergoing rapid transformation. The number of procedures and the hospitals performing them are increasing exponentially. This is giving rise to a situation where most of the young interventional cardiologists feel a constant need for further learning under expert guidance. During various formal and informal meetings for CSI-NIC—2015, there was a need to publish a book that ...

This book is written with the intention to present main ECG diagnoses in a very easy, quick and retainable manner. The book consists of two parts, the first deals with basic concepts (Deep Analysis Section; DAS) which makes reader to understand how normal and abnormal ECG and components of ECG including waves, segments and intervals present while second (Quick Diagnosis Section; QDS) part deals with how to diagnose specific in ECG. The other benefit of this ...
