By Marlowe T. Quinn

VALVULAR HEART DISEASE
A Comprehensive Clinical, Echocardiographic, and Interventional Reference
Valvular Heart Disease is a comprehensive and clinically focused reference that provides an in-depth exploration of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, imaging assessment, and management of valvular disorders across the spectrum of cardiovascular care. Designed for cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, fellows, residents, advanced practice providers, echocardiographers, and healthcare professionals involved in cardiovascular medicine, this authoritative text bridges foundational knowledge with contemporary clinical practice.
Special attention is given to complex clinical scenarios frequently encountered in practice, including valvular disease in heart failure, atrial fibrillation, pregnancy, elderly populations, congenital heart disease, and infective endocarditis. These discussions help clinicians navigate challenging management decisions while optimizing patient outcomes.
Key Topics Covered Include: Cardiac valve anatomy and physiologyHemodynamics of valvular heart diseaseAortic stenosis and aortic regurgitationMitral stenosis and mitral regurgitationTricuspid and pulmonary valve disordersEchocardiographic assessment of valve diseaseThree-dimensional echocardiographyCardiac CT and cardiac MRI in valvular imagingDoppler principles and quantitative valve evaluationProsthetic heart valves and structural valve dysfunctionInfective endocarditis and valve-related infectionsSurgical valve repair and replacementTranscatheter valve interventions and structural heart therapiesTAVR and emerging minimally invasive technologiesClinical decision-making and guideline-directed managementSpecial populations and complex valvular conditionsFuture directions in structural heart disease and valve therapyWhether used as a clinical reference, fellowship resource, board examination review, or comprehensive textbook, Valvular Heart Disease delivers the essential knowledge required to understand, diagnose, image, and manage valvular disorders in contemporary cardiovascular practice.
