From the reviews:
"This is a comprehensive review of pulmonary hypertension from pathophysiology to therapeutic options. … This book provides current, comprehensive, and clinical relevant information from pathophysiology to a wide range of therapeutic options. The intended audience includes cardiologists and pulmonary specialists, intensivists, and rheumatologists, as well as those healthcare professionals who face this clinical situation in their everyday practice. … This complete, up-to-date review of pulmonary hypertension covers all aspects of the disease from its pathophysiology to optimal therapeutic management." (Adriana Maria Rosario, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)
"It is thus timely to release an up-dated textbook to the growing number of physicians who have an interest in pulmonary vascular medicine. Pulmonary Hypertension will undoubtedly provide useful information on the condition to readers. ... will be very helpful to the busy clinician who is treating patients with pulmonary hypertension. ...

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This timely volume addresses the areas of pathophysiology and therapy of pulmonary hypertension, which have seen exciting developments over the past decade. The discoveries of endothelin overexpression as well as prostacyclin and nitric oxide deficiency in association with pulmonary hypertension have led to important therapeutic insights. In addition, the identification of genes associated with pulmonary hypertension has just begun to open the door to new pathophysiologic insights. The new therapies have led to significant improvements in patient function, quality of life and survival.
This book will be of interest not only to cardiologists, pulmonary specialists and rheumatologists, but also many nurses and pharmacotherapists are becoming increasingly involved in the therapy of patients with pulmonary hypertension.
