CARDIAC MECHANOTRANSDUCTION
Matti Weckstrom and Pasi Tavi 2007 For about hundred years the investigation of heart physiology has had one central guiding principle, the “law” of Frank and Starling. This connects the return of blood into the heart and the blood pressure with cardiac contraction force.

Robert Plonsey and Roger C. Barr 2007 A Quantitative Approach The study of electrophysiology has progressed rapidly because of the precise, delicate, and ingenious experimental studies of many investigators. The field has also made great strides by unifying these experimental observations through mathematical descriptions based on electromagnetic field theory, electrochemistry, etc., which underlie these experiments. In turn, these […]

FRANK I. MARCUS • ANDREA NAVA • GAETANO THIENE (Eds) 2007 Recent Advances This book covers all the recent research highlights of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D), a recently discovered heart muscle disease which is a major threat to the life of affected young people. It summarizes nearly 25 years of investigation on the etiology, genetics, pathology, clinical […]

Edited by RAGAVENDRA R. BALIGA CHRISTOPH A. NIENABER ERIC M. ISSELBACHER KIM A. EAGLE 2007 Aortic dissection affects approximately two out of every 10,000 individuals. Despite its common occurrence and potential to be fatal, up-to-date references have been difficult to locate. To meet this need, the editors have assembled an international group of authors with substantial experience in […]

Rajendra Acharya U, Jasjit S. Suri, Jos A.E. Spaan and S .M. Krishnan 2007 Various disciplines have been benefited by the advent of high-performance computing in achieving practical solutions to their problems and the area of health care is no exception to this. Signal processing and data mining tools have been developed to enhance the computational capabilities so […]

Michael E. McConnell 2008 Why another book to teach auscultation? Isn’t the use of the stethoscope a ‘‘lost art’’, totally unnecessary in the age of echocardiography and ‘‘hand held’’ imaging ‘‘stethoscopes’’? The answer is that there is perhaps no other physical examination skill that a physician making patient care decisions must have that is more important, even now.

Ricardo Munoz Carol G. Schmitt Stephen J. Roth, and Eduardo da Cruz (Eds.) 2008 Our main purpose in editing this book is to provide the health care practitioner with general clinical practical guidelines regarding the use of pediatric cardiovascular drugs. We also intend to provide an overview of basic pediatric cardiovascular principles.

Jan Adamec · Richard Adamec 2008 Guide to Electrocardiographic Interpretation Long-term ECG recording has been known for some time but has recently been further developed owing to miniaturisation, digitalisation, and an increase in memory. First of all, the newer techniques have improved the Holter method, which was first invented in the 1960s.
