The Aorta: Structure, Function, Dysfunction and Diseases

Editat de Boudoulas Harisios, Christodoulos Stefanadis, Charalambos Vlachopoulos
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 noi 2008
This guide thoroughly discusses all aspects of the aorta, including embryology, anatomy, health, and disease. This highly focused text concentrates on the functions of the aorta, not simply as a pathophysiological entity, but also as a significant prognostic indicator for cardiovascular events.
An essential tool for practicing cardiologists and trainees, this guide:
  • covers all aortic diseases, including aortic aneurysms, aortic dissections, intramular hematoma, congenital heart diseases, heritable connective tissue disorders, and aortic trauma
  • discusses the aging aorta, aorta and pregnancy, and chest pain of aortic origin
  • examines data related to molecular/genetic mechanisms in aortic function and diseases
  • presents established and cutting-edge techniques for the evaluationof aortic function and structure

Descriere

This highly focused text concentrates on the functions of the aorta, not simply as a pathophysiological entity, but also as a significant prognostic indicator for cardiovascular events. Topics include anatomy, physiology and function, systemic arterial properties and the principles of steady and pulsatile hemodynamics. The book discusses diagnostic tools such as echocardiography and MRI and examines hormonal regulation endothelial function, and alterations that occur in the aorta due to aging. The text is enhanced with more than 300 illustrations.
