    • French
    Le Traité de la Société Française de Cardiologie « Cardiologie et maladies vasculaires » rend compte des progrès considérables de la prise en charge des affections cardiovasculaires au cours des dernières an-nées. Sa préparation a nécessité une synthèse actualisée de chacun des domaines de cette discipline particulièrement riche en évolutions tant en physiopathologie, en explorations qu’en traitements pharmaco-logiques, interventionnels et chirurgicaux. La première de ces évolutions tient aux progrès techniques. En dix ans, chacun des domaines de la cardio-logie a vu ses méthodes diagnostiques et thérapeutiques faire des pas gigantesques. L’imagerie de coupe scanner et IRM, le strain en échocardiographie, les holters implantables, la cartographie en électrophysiolo-gie endocavitaire, la FFR, les stents coronaires de nouvelle génération, les endoprothèses vasculaires, l’ap-proche interventionnelle neuro-vasculaire, les endoprothèses valvulaires percutanées, les anticoagulants oraux directs, les inhibiteurs plaquettaires de nouvelle génération sont entrés dans la pratique quotidienne. La seconde grande évolution concerne les stratégies de recours à ces explorations et ces traitements, dont témoigne la vitesse de renouvellement des recommandations de la Société européenne de cardiologie, en-dossées en aval par la Société française de cardiologie. Toutes ont changé. On n’explore et on ne traite plus de la même manière la maladie coronaire, la plupart des arythmies, les atteintes cardiaques des affections médicales, l’insuffisance cardiaque, l’hypertension artérielle. Ce sont tous ces changements qui sont à l’origine de la parution de « Cardiologie et maladies vasculaires », le Traité de cardiologie et de Maladies vasculaires de la Société française de cardiologie. Ce traité est présenté sous une forme combinée, couplant un ouvrage exhaustif publié sous forme numé-rique complété de suppléments iconographiques et de vidéos, et une version papier principalement focali-sée sur les aspects thérapeutiques et novateurs.

  • Epilepsies de l'enfant, de l'adolescent et de l'adulte

    De la physiopathologie à la prise en charge
    • 1st Edition
    • Sophie Dupont
    • French
    Avec près de 600 000 personnes touchées en France, l’épilepsie est la deuxième maladie neurologique la plus répandue après la maladie d’Alzheimer. Les récents progrès en neurosciences ont fait évoluer l’épileptologie : les différentes formes cliniques sont mieux individualisées, les examens complémentaires plus performants et les causes mieux documentées. Les progrès thérapeutiques sont réels, avec l’accès aux nouveaux médicaments anti-épileptiques, aux traitements chirurgicaux ou encore à la stimulation cérébrale, apportant autant d’alternatives thérapeutiques. Ces avancées combinées ont nettement amélioré la prise en charge des patients. Dans un style synthétique, cet ouvrage apporte des connaissances accessibles à tous, les stratégies thérapeutiques à mettre en place et met l’accent sur des sujets plus pointus comme les encéphalites auto-immunes, les comorbidités psychiatriques, les SUDEP ou encore la prise en charge thérapeutique de la femme enceinte. Une abondante imagerie (EEG, IRM, etc.) ainsi que les textes réglementaires et les recommandations viennent compléter le texte.
