Hemodynamic Rounds: Interpretation of Cardiac Pathophysiology from Pressure Waveform Analysis - Softcover
Synopsis
This is the only book on the market that specifically addresses cardiac blood flow findings, reviewing blood pressure tracings collected from the cardiac catheterization lab on all aspects of cardiovascular disease, as well as normal cardiac function. This edition includes revised and updated chapters on mitral stenosis and pulse alterations, low–gradient aortic valve stenosis, pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty, coronary hemodynamics for angioplasty and stenting after myocardial infarction, and more. It is an indispensable tool for physicians, nurses, and students measuring and interpreting cardiac waveforms in cardiac diagnosis and monitoring.

From the Back Cover
The essential resource on cardiac hemodynamics–now in a new edition
Hemodynamic Rounds, Third Edition is intended to help cardiologists and other members of the medical community enhance their understanding of cardiac physiology and its associated hemodynamic presentations in health and disease, including the basic principles of flow and pressure measurements; systemic as well as coronary hemodynamics in normal and diseased states; and changes in hemodynamics following interventional procedures ranging from valvuloplasty to stent placement.
Like its popular predecessors, this new edition draws on case studies to illustrate characteristic cardiac hemodynamic findings and discuss the essential methods used in interpreting pressure waveforms as a diagnostic and monitoring tool.
The text is organized into chapters on specific areas of the heart, common cardiac anomalies, and hemodynamic situations resulting from different therapeutic procedures, and includes both normal and abnormal pressure waveforms. This new edition includes thoroughly revised and updated chapters on specific topics, including:
- Mitral stenosis and mitral valvuloplasty
- Low–gradient aortic valve stenosis
- Pitfalls of right heart hemodynamics
- Aortic and pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty
- Coronary hemodynamics for angioplasty and stenting
- Hemodynamic evaluation of stenotic bioprosthetic mitral valves
- Evaluation of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathies
- Understanding cardiac pathophysiology from bedside hemodynamic study
Hemodynamic Rounds, Third Edition, is the only book on the market that specifically addresses comprehensive cardiac hemodynamic findings, reviewing blood pressure tracings collected from the cardiac catheterization lab on all aspects of cardiovascular disease, as well as normal cardiac function. It is an indispensable tool for all physicians, nurses, and students measuring and interpreting cardiac waveforms in cardiac diagnosis and monitoring.

Nonprofit Governance
Law, Practices & Trends
Bruce R. Hopkins
Virginia C. Gross
A complete analysis of the law, practices, and trends of nonprofit governance from two of the nation's leading lawyers on the law of tax-exempt organizations
Recent scandals in the charitable sector as well as the adoption of a myriad of nonprofit best practices and guidelines have created a need and demand for better governance of nonprofits. In Nonprofit Governance, renowned author Bruce R. Hopkins and his law partner, Virginia Gross, share their combined decades of legal expertise to provide a comprehensive, authoritative examination of the law, practices, and trends of nonprofit governance.
In this comprehensive, one-stop resource, Hopkins and Gross deftly summarize the law that exists and explain and evaluate the many good governance principles that have been promulgated. Nonprofit Governance helps leaders and managers of nonprofit organizations, and their lawyers, accountants, and advisors, to:
- Understand the legal backdrop for nonprofit governance
- Sift through the numerous good governance principles and guidelines
- Select the ones that most appropriately apply to their particular organization
- Devise suitable policies and procedures
- Improve their operations and effectiveness
- Undertake a comprehensive governance legal audit
- Be in a position to file Forms 990 that cast them in the best possible light regarding nonprofit governance
Nonprofit Governance is a must-read for anyone facing good governance decisions in a nonprofit organization and is lost in the maze of conflicting principles, ever-increasing policies and procedures, murky law, and the intensity of the IRS in insisting on adoption of various principles in the absence of legal requirements for them.
