Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the historical understanding of aortic valve insufficiency (AVI). Beginning in the 17th century, it examines the work of the pioneers of cardiac pathology as they struggled to describe, understand, and treat this disease. From Vieussens's early description in 1695 to the present day, the author reviews the contributions of such luminaries as Senac, Morgagni, Corrigan, and Hope. The book delves into the pathophysiology of AVI, exploring its effects on the heart and circulatory system, particularly sudden cardiac death. It also delves into the history of physical and pathological diagnosis of the disease. Throughout, the author provides valuable insights into the evolution of medical thought and practice regarding AVI. This book will be a valuable resource for cardiologists, historians of medicine, and anyone interested in the evolution of our understanding of this important heart condition.
