This accessible book encompasses the technology involved in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. It is intended to facilitate an understanding of the technology encountered in a modern cardiac diagnostic center, and to break down the barriers encountered by many students in training. The author has acknowledged that not all institutions possess the most advanced and expensive equipment, and has therefore included selected technology less up-to-date. This book will also be invaluable for all paramedical professionals involved in cardiology and related fields, including clinical technologists, cardiac nurses, radiographers and initiate physicians.

This text deals with the technology involved in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. It is intended to help the student understand the nomenclature and fundamental principles of the technology relevant to a modern cardiac arrest diagnostic centre.

Essentials of Bedside Cardiology, Second Edition, like the first edition, is designed for those who wish to balance technological advances with increased personal skill in history taking and physical examination. It is important to teach physicians that all technologies now in use for diagnosing cardiovascular disorders, such as echocardiography, can have false positive and false negative results. It is not always wise to rely on these technologies alone; indeed, they may not even be available in some settings. Even when the full panoply of up-to-date techniques is at the physician's disposal, the patient may not be a good candidate for an echocardiogram, or the technician or reader may not be well qualified, or the equipment itself may be substandard. Technology must be combined with physical examination to decide what is true and what is false. The practice of expert history taking and physical examination returns the physician to the actual patient, where the physician can feel like a "real doctor" rather than a mere interpreter of laboratory data. Essentials of Bedside Cardiology, Second Edition, strives to teach and not simply to tell the facts, relying on three basic methods derived from the psychology of teaching and learning: 1. Explain the facts. 2. Use a question and answer format-the Socratic method. 3. Provide tricks or mnemonics to help the reader remember the facts.

Fact-based and clinically-focused, this new third edition is an ideal reference that provides a concise and essential overview of electrophysiology. With 200 multiple-choice questions it is an excellent study aid for electrophysiology fellows, cardiology fellows, and electrophysiologists preparing for board examination or other EP certifications.

From basic clinical facts to new advanced guidelines, Practical Cardiology, by Drs. Majid Maleki, Azin Alizadehasl, and Majid Haghjoo, is your new go-to resource for new developments in cardiology knowledge, imaging modalities, management techniques, and more. This step-by-step, practical reference is packed with tips and guidance ideal for residents, fellows, and clinicians in cardiology, as well as internal medicine, cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, and pediatric cardiology. Features a wealth of information, including practical points from recently published guidelines, ECGs, hemodynamic traces of advanced imaging modalities in real patients, and much more. Offers a comprehensive review of cardiovascular medicine, from basic to advanced.

This practical reference takes a multi-occupational approach, aimed at increasing readers' employability. Background information is provided on anatomy and physiology, medical disease processes, medical terminology, medical ethics and legal aspects. In addition, there is employment and job-seeking advice, certification and licensing guidance, and administrative, supervisory and leadership concepts. There are end-of-chapter review questions and summaries, and other features of the text include: lesson plans; vocabulary words; teaching methodologies; hands-on competency sheets and evaluation forms; role-playing activities; quizzes, test and test-bank; and transparency masters/slide set.
