Interdisciplinary Rheumatology: Rheumatology and Cardiology

A key problem in medicine is that certain diseases may involve organ systems that cross the boundaries of individual specialties. For instance, a patient with scleroderma can develop myocarditis, or one with vasculitis can manifest with aortitis, which in turn can affect the function of the aortic valve. This book represents a dialogue between specialties, helping clinicians understand the implications of disease both within their own specialty and in the overlapping specialty of the case. Here leading experts from the fields of rheumatology and cardiology provide a masterclass in the care of patients with systemic illnesses that involve the immune system and the cardiovascular system.

Key Features:

Provides a clinical approach to the patient with cardiovascular manifestations of rheumatic disease. Details cutting-edge research with inputs from the world's leading experts. Discusses possible future directions for research and advancement.
