La enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV), en particular, la cardiopatía coronaria (CC) y la enfermedad cerebrovascular (ECeV), es un problema grave y creciente en las poblaciones debajos y medianos ingresos. Los pacientes con ECV establecida están expuestos a un riesgo muy alto de sufrir otros episodios de enfermedad potencialmente mortales. La prevención secundaria (las medidas que se toman para reducir el riesgo de episodios vasculares recurrentes en los pacientes con ECV) es un elemento importante y de costo asequible de la estrategia de control de la ECV en las poblaciones de bajos y medianos ingresos. Varios elementos de la prevención secundaria, incluidos los cambios del modo de vida, el tratamiento farmacológico y los procedimientos quirúrgicos, pueden reducir mucho el riesgo de ECV recurrente. more...

Vascular injury is initiated by oxidant injury to the vessel wall. This volume is organized around the role of oxidant damage in this disease process and provides a collection of the most recent studies, representing various disciplines, that can serve as the basis for further improvements in our understanding and control of cardiovascular and cerebral vascular disease. more...

Completely revised and updated, the Second Edition of the Atlas of Atherosclerosis Progression and Regression contains new material and new illustrations from Dr. Stary's groundbreaking work in the field of atherosclerosis diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Over 100 photographs show arterial and lesion structure and individual components in unprecedented detail. These images allow you to compare and contrast healthy arteries with those developing and regressing lesions. They illustrate the successive steps in the natural history of human atherosclerotic disease from the microscopically visible, lipid-filled macrophages in susceptible locations of arteries to lesion forms that produce clinical symptoms. The book provides an up-to-date, pathology-based framework of morphologies of atherosclerotic vascular lesions that serves as a basis for correlation with morphologies determined by a variety of clinical imaging techniques. Demonstrating the evolution of arterial lesions fo rm the clinically silent the clinically relevant, An Atlas of Atherosclerosis Progression and Regression is a teaching aid and diagnostic tool for recognizing changes in lesion progression, stabilization, or regression. About the author: Dr. Stary is Professor of Pathology at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. He came to New Orleans via the Departments of Pathology of the McGill (Montreal) and Yale (New Haven) Medical Schools. For 7 years, Dr. Stary also served as chairman of the American Heart Association's Committee on Vascular Lesions. more...

Conventional coronary angiography can lead to infections, injuries to the arteries, and in rare cases, heart attack or death. Using the new, rapidly developing technique of contrast-enhanced angiography (CEA), also known as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), cardiologists can now quickly and effectively evaluate a broad range of vascular abnormalities, including the kinds of problems often seen with traditional echocardiography. An Atlas of Contrast-Enhanced Angiography uses images taken directly from the magnetic resonance scanner to illustrate the application of CEA to all the common pathologies and anomalies seen in the cardiovascular system. It contains tables, charts, and line diagrams that delineate the angiograms. Authors Mohiaddin and Bunce supply explanatory text supporting and complementing the figures and providing clinical diagnoses and investigations of a multitude of normal and abnormal findings. In addition, it provides the reader with a visual aide to the diagnosis and management of vascular disease. more...
