Edited by JOSEPH T. FLYNN JULIE R. INGELFINGER RONALD J. PORTMAN 2011 Interest in pediatric hypertension dates back nearly half a century, when it was first recognized that a small percentage of children and adolescents had elevated blood pressure — and in those days, the same normal values for adult blood pressure were utilized in children!

Aldo R. Boccaccini • Sian E. Harding Editors 2011 Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the industrialised world [1] and now have risen to a similar position for developing countries. Myocardial infarction is the main cause of death in patients with CVD, although damage to heart muscle can also occur from infection, drugs, alcohol, […]

Bruno Kastler 2011 For many years, the diagnosis of congenital cardiovascular anomalies was based on conventional radiography, catheterization and angiography. Non-invasive cardiac imaging was dramatically improved in the middle of the 1970s with the development of echocardiography, which considerably reduced the need for cardiac catheterization.

Luigia Romano · Massimo Silva · Sonia Fulciniti · Antonio Pinto (Eds.) 2011 Multidetector CT (MDCT), or multidetector-row CT, multislice CT, or volume CT, as it is also called, represents the next breakthrough in computed tomography technology. The MDCT body atlas is a useful reference for radiology technologists, familiarizing them with state-of-the art MDCT imaging of the thorax, […]

Bernhard Maisch • Arsen D. Ristić • Petar M. Seferović • Teresa S. M. Tsang 2011 For many years the diagnosis of pericardial disease has been primarily made non-invasively. Our understanding was based on pathophysiology and the impairment of function. The assessment of the etiology was, when at all, left to the pathologist at the time of […]
