Coronary artery disease causes severe disability and more death than any other disease in affluent societies Medical conditions associated with this disease are angina, ischaemia, unstable angina,
myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden death
In recent years, interventional cardiology, particularly percutaneous coronary intervention, has progressed dramatically and undergone incredible evolution In many countries, numbers of
percutaneous coronary procedures now equal or exceed bypass surgery Although coronary intervention has held centre stage, major inroads in non-coronary percutaneous intervention have
been made
Much of the breathtaking momentum seen in interventional cardiology in recent years has been captured in this highly informative and well illustrated ABC of Interventional Cardiology It will help
the reader to make decisions on cardiac diagnosis and appropriate care, and to advise patients on the benefits that percutaneous intervention can offer
Chapters include:
• Pathophysiology and investigation of coronary artery disease
• Percutaneous coronary intervention
• Chronic stable angina: treatment options
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Percutaneous coronary intervention: cardiogenic shock
• Interventional pharmacotherapy
• Non-coronary percutaneous intervention
• New developments in percutaneous coronary intervention
• Percutaneous interventional electrophysiology
• Implantable devices for treating tachyarrhythmias
• Interventional paediatric cardiology Broad, and sometimes complex, aspects of interventional cardiology are presented in a clear, concise,
and balanced manner This easy to read text, supplemented by numerous images and graphics, will appeal to a broad readership, including medical students, family doctors, physicians, and cardiologists
