Description

Principles and Practice of Nephrocardiology provides a comprehensive introduction to the interdisciplinary subspecialty of Nephrocardiology. The book includes detailed descriptions, along with an in-depth exploration of its primary elements and topics. Coverage spans pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, therapy, risk factors, and the systemic diseases that involve both nephrology-related conditions and cardiovascular diseases. The book guides clinicians and general practitioners in multiple interdisciplinary specialties through diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic approaches to a wide variety of patient populations. It also opens a myriad of new avenues for future research and guidance for approaching multiple medical topics.

Key features

  • Introduces and defines the interdisciplinary subspecialty field of Nephrocardiology, with a delineation of its scope and in-depth exploration of its topics
  • Includes novel viewpoints from leaders in the field on the interaction between the fields of nephrology and cardiovascular medicine
  • Provides insights into pathophysiological mechanisms to help readers better understand the various aspects of the relationship between renal and cardiovascular disease

Readership
