Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Sleep

Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Sleep: Comprehensive Approaches to Mitral Regurgitation and Sleep-Disordered Breathing examines the correlation of these two serious pathologies. These conditions are commonly present in patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure, and interrelated via various pathophysiological links, creating a vicious cycle of clinical deterioration. Interestingly, their coexistence not only contributes to disease severity, but increased mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Yet, there is currently no book covering the interplay between mitral regurgitation and sleep disordered breathing (obstructive sleep apnea/central sleep apnea). Thus, this book fills a gap in an emerging and promising field of research. This book offers a detailed description of diagnosis, as well as discussion of coexistent pathologies including arrhythmias and heart failure. As the focus of the book is the effect of interventional therapy, it is the first to discuss the effects of surgical and transcatheter techniques in sleep disordered breathing. The effects of these interventions on sleep apnea are analyzed, with respect to the positive effect on sleep apnea and the result of better sleep respiration, along with mitral valve repair.

Electrocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Looking Beyond Left Ventricular Mass provides an innovative perspective on electrocardiogram (ECG) usage for treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). It links contemporary research results with clinical practice in order to bring a cornerstone technology into the future. Specifically, it illuminates how ECGs provide unique information on the cardiac electric field in LVH patients. Electrocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Looking Beyond Left Ventricular Mass recognizes and fulfills the urgent need to change the classical diagnostic paradigm of ECG diagnosis in LVH. To do so, it turns attention to so-called false-negative ECG findings that in truth provide valuable, often overlooked information. When used to their fullest potential, these results can be used for diagnostics, selection of targeted therapy and cardiovascular risk assessment.
