Gabriel Cismaru + 2 more
English

"Pediatric Holter Monitoring: Clinical Cases" is the cutting edge book required by pediatric cardiologists and other professionals who encounter arrhythmias in children. Holter ECG examination has recently undergone significant advances in technology, sensors, and software. Yet, these innovations have been considered primarily in the context of adult patients. On the contrary, "Pediatric Holter Monitoring: Clinical Cases" uses a case-based methodology to illustrate diagnosis and management of actual pediatric patients. Further, it offers guidance in deciding when referrals are necessary for arrhythmological consultations or ablation interventions. This book also contains novel techniques for detecting and interpreting pediatric arrhythmias. These include the introduction of Poincare graphs, Lorenz plots, and other advanced methods for assessing heart rate variability. "Pediatric Holter Monitoring: Clinical Cases" modernizes readers' understanding of arrhythmias in children, thus improving the young lives of those in their care.

English

“A Complete Guide to Atrial Abnormalities” provides background on all atrial conditions, helps clinicians differentiate between the main atrial diseases, and illustrates the clinical implications of each. Research into atrial dysfunctions has stalled in recent years. However, this book presents important research and prognostic information on the different types of atrial disorders. These include: • Interatrial block • Atrial Dyssynchrony • Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter • Bayés syndrome • Atrial enlargement • Atrial failure This book further illuminates atrial involvement in all heart conditions, including cardiogenetic diseases, channelopathies and cardiomyopathies. As population aging increases the epidemic of cardiovascular disease, correct assessment of specific atrial diseases is even more essential in providing patients the best possible care in every situation. “A Complete Guide to Atrial Abnormalities” includes computer-based analyses which cover how targeted, personalized care using big data might improve diagnosis, treatment therapies, and prevention of atrial abnormalities. These innovations include increased understanding of rhythm/rate control, risk of stroke, drugs, structure, imaging, and devices. This book is indispensable in understanding the complex interplay between atrial diseases and overall cardiovascular health.

Gross Pathology Atlas

1st Edition
January 1, 2026
Neda Zarrin-Khameh
English

"Gross Pathology Atlas: A Guide to Gross Specimen Evaluation" is a novel reference dedicated to 'gross' images. Gross pathology is the branch of pathology that deals with the examination and diagnosis of diseases through the observation of organs, tissues, and bodily fluids with the naked eye, without the aid of a microscope. It involves the examination of specimens obtained during surgery, autopsy, or biopsy. This book serves as an essential tool for diagnosing diseases. By observing macroscopic features, pathologists can identify diseases or conditions affecting various organs and tissues for example, to detect tumors, inflammation, infections, and degenerative changes. Gross pathology specimens serve as invaluable teaching aids for medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals. They provide tangible examples of disease manifestations, facilitating the understanding of pathological processes. Moreover, gross pathology specimens are essential for research purposes, allowing scientists to study disease mechanisms, develop new treatments, and advance medical knowledge.
