This is a color atlas of myocardial infarction and related cardiovascular complications with 212 captioned illustrations and introductory review text. It is best described in the Foreword by Dr. Lawrence S. Cohen, Yale University School of Medicine, who says, Dr. Dymond has put together a well-illustrated atlas reflecting the current state of knowledge concerning myocardial infarction. The strength of this book rests with the illustrations. . . . The Atlas is richly illustrated with electrocardiograms, angiograms, radionuclide scans, rest and stress electrocardiograms, magnetic resonance images, Holter monitors, angioscopy, and positron emission tomography images. It is in this section of the book that the reader marvels at the array of diagnostic tools that allows the physician to perform his magic.

About this title

Synopsis

Part of "The Encyclopedia of Visual Medicine" series, this comprehensive colour atlas is designed to be a practical aid to the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and related cardiovascular complications. After reviewing the risk factors and epidemiology associated with myocardial infarction and its related complications, the book then describes and illustrates in detail the relevant pathological signs, symptoms and consequences of this disease. This is followed by an analysis of the common electrocardiographic appearances that are presented to the clinician. The latest techologies of imaging are also illustrated in detail, providing a guide to the interpretation of the most advanced methods of diagnostic assessment. Other aspects covered by the volume include a review of both acute and chronic complications, and an illustrated description of thrombolytic therapy, angioplasty and myocardial stunning. The volume concludes with a discussion on long-term prognosis and management. The illustrations demonstrate many of the latest features relevant to the modern management of myocardial infarction.

The volume should provide new therapeutic insights for the clinician, as well as being an important practical aid to diagnosis.
