ELSEVIER Decision Making In Adult Neurology (Pb 2021) by Brett Cucchiara
Written by neurologists for neurologists, Decision-Making in Adult Neurology provides practical guidance when encountering patients whose clinical presentation is unfamiliar or complex, or whose treatment path is not completely certain. This useful handbook is filled with diagnostic and treatment algorithms that encourage you to think systematically and follow a logical sequence through the steps necessary for efficient and effective decision-making.Outlines the key decision points in patient management, providing a wealth of systematic information that ensures you take into account the proper physical signs and test results that will guide your recommendations. Contains 119 algorithms covering symptoms and signs, specific neurologic conditions, vascular disorders, seizures, head trauma, neoplastic disease, peripheral nervous disorders, and muscle disease. Accompanies each algorithm with brief text that explains the significance of important decision points. Provides step-by-step decision-making guidelines for testing and management of paraneoplastic diseases, choice of initial MS therapy, evaluation of incidentally discovered MRI white matter lesions, management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis, and much more. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase, which allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices Table of Contents: -Part I: Basic Determinants of Diastolic FunctionMolecular, Gene, and Cellular Mechanis Pathophysiology of Heart Failure With a Preserved Ejection Fraction: Measurements and Mechanisms Causing Abnormal Diastolic Function Role of the Pericardium in Diastolic Dysfunction Left Atrial Function: Basic Physiology Physical Determinants of Diastolic Flow Ventricular-Arterial Interaction in Patients With Heart Failure and a Preserved Ejection Fraction Part II: Diagnosis of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection FractionGeneral Principles, Clinical Definition, Epidemiology, and Pathophysiology Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Two-Dimensional and Doppler Evaluation of Left Ventricular Filling, Including Pulmonary Venous Flow Velocity Evaluation of Diastolic Function by Tissue Doppler, Strain, and Torsion Analysis Color M-mode Doppler Assessment of Left Atrial Size and Function Evaluation of Intracardiac Filling Pressures Evaluation of Right Ventricular Diastolic Function Evaluation of Diastolic Function by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Diastolic Function by Radionuclide Techniques Diastolic Echocardiographic Examination Diastology Stress Test ASE/EACVI Diastolic Guidelines: Strength and Limitations Part III: Cardiac Diseases With HFpEFHypertension and Its Relation to Heart Failure With a Preserved Ejection Fraction Valve Disease Stage D Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, Heart Transplantation, and Mechanical Circulatory Support Primary Restrictive, Infiltrative, and Storage Cardiomyopathies Coronary Artery Disease Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Pericardial Diseases: Constrictive Pericarditis and Pericardial Effusion Diastolic Function in Children and in Children With Congenital Heart Disease Diabetes Mellitus Part IV: Emerging Topics in HFpEFGlobal and Regional Systolic Function of the Left Ventricle Chronotropic Incompetence and Pacing in HPEF Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Aging and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Perioperative Assessment of Diastolic Function Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Part V: Treatment of HFpEFGeneral Treatment of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Randomized Trials Echo-Based Approach to the Management of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Future Therapies in HFpEF Part VI: Cases of Diastolic Heart FailureCases of Diastolic Heart Failureshow more
