Advanced imaging technology has greatly improved the practice of thoracic surgery in the past 35 years. Among many other benefits, the advances decreased the rate of futile thoracotomy for lung cancer from more than 20% in the 1970s to the current incidence of only a few percent. This issue of Thoracic Surgery Clinics provides updates about recent advances in imaging of thoracic diseases, and will help practicing thoracic surgeons understand how to best frame requests so that optimally useful information emerges from an examination.

Pharmacologic treatment of heart failure has progressed over the last two decades, but regimens have become more complex. With pharmacogenetics, the time is rapidly approaching when information on genetic variability will be used to predict therapeutic response and select the right drug for the right patient. In this issue of Heart Failure Clinics, several leading pioneers of this next revolution in heart failure treatment present the current state-of-the-art on the use of genomic information to target therapeutics. The issue begins with two articles on the basics of what every clinician needs to understand to apply genomic information to patient care and a historical overview of the move toward genetically targeted therapies. The articles that follow address specific therapeutic interventions such as neurohormonal inhibitors and beta blockers. The next series of articles address the genomics of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and how genomic differences may underlie the apparent racial differences in heart failure and therapeutics. The final third of the issue turns to how genomics will assist treatment of specific clinical scenarios, including myocarditis, transplant rejection, device therapy and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The issue concludes with a discussion of genome-wide association studies.

In the past three decades, interventional cardiology has grown tremendously due to development of new devices and expansion of indications based on clinical trials. This issue of Cardiology Clinics provides an updated view of advanced techniques in the rapidly changing and growing field of interventional cardiology. The articles included discuss important topics such as emerging techniques for vulnerable plaque detection, coronary bifurcation lesions, drug eluting stents, and left ventricular assist devices.

Malgré les nombreux moyens d'analyse précis et performants des fonctions cardiaques (échographie-Doppler, coronarographie, etc.), et respiratoires (pléthysmographie, scanner, etc.), l'exploration cardiorespiratoire d'effort reste l'examen qui teste toute la chaîne du transport de l'O2 de la ventilation à son utilisation périphérique et permet d'identifier le maillon déficient. Cet examen, capital en cardiologie, permet de diagnostiquer une dyspnée, d'évaluer la tolérance à l'effort chez un sujet sain ou un sportif, de prescrire et surveiller un traitement ou d'affiner un bilan préopératoire (chirurgie thoracique, transplantation cardiaque, transplantation cardio-pulmonaire). Cet ouvrage fait le point sur cet examen en mettant à la disposition du praticien toutes les informations nécessaires pour connaitre les indications, le type d'appareils disponibles, les protocoles, la physiopathologie de la réponse à l'examen, etc. Il permet d'analyser les résultats et de les comparer à des courbes types qui orientent le diagnostic. Cet ouvrage unique en langue française est rédigé par des auteurs référents qui mettent à la disposition du praticien un guide pratique contenant l'essentiel des connaissances pour ce type d'examen et qui présente des cas cliniques pour l'entraînement.
