Atlas of Valvular Heart Disease: Clinical and Pathologic Aspects

This atlas was first published in Japanese by Life Science Publishers, along with the 'Atlas of Ischemic Heart Disease'. As part of a collaboration with Churchill Communications Japan, the English translations of both of these atlases have been carefullyupdated and edited by Drs Willerson and Cohn to reflect current trends in clinical practice. This volume provides an excellent visual reference into all aspects of valvular heart disease including the anatomy of all cardiac valves. Congenital cardiac conditions are shown in unusual detail including pathologic correlations. Many colour echocardiograms are provided which detail cardiac regurgitaion. Mitral stenosis and insufficiency are featured here. Also covered are infections of the valves such as infectious endocarditis and rheumatic valvular disease.over 230 full colour illustrations of clinical and pathophysiologic aspects of valvular heart diseaseProvides comprehensive coverage of the clinical and pathophysiologic aspects of valvular disease
