Internationally renowned authors Drs. Catherine M. Otto and Brian Lindman, along with an expert team of contributing authors, provide clear, authoritative guidance to help you apply today's best evidence-based approaches in your daily practice. From cover to cover, this sixth edition brings you fully up to date with the latest procedures, imaging modalities, basic science, diagnostic criteria, and treatment guidelines in valvular heart disease.
- Includes new content on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), timing and type of intervention for mitral regurgitation, complications of valvular diseases, bicuspid aortic valve disease, and tricuspid regurgitation, as well as many other topics
- Addresses the underlying mechanisms of valvular heart disease including molecular pathways, clinical and genetic risk factors and epidemiology, with new chapters on screening and early detection of valve disease
- Offers detailed disease-oriented chapters on each type of valvular heart disease with an emphasis on newer interventional approaches, as well as surgical advances, along with imaging guidance for patient selection and monitoring during the procedure
- Provides summaries of ACC, AHA, and ESC guidelines for guidance on best practices
- Includes all the latest imaging modalities for a full understanding of tools needed for the most accurate physiologic understanding and accurate diagnoses
- Offers access to 80+ videos that help you visualize heart valve anatomy and dysfunction, as well as important techniques and procedures
- Features extensive illustrations of anatomy and physiology, methodology, flow charts, and clinical examples―750 high-quality images in all
- Emphasizes evidence-based approaches with outcome data and relevant references
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
