Valvular Heart Disease: A Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease: Expert Consult - Online and Print 3rd Revised edition

Deals with questions on dysfunctions or abnormalities of the heart's four valves. This book includes chapters on Cardiac MR and CT imaging for valvular heart disease; Genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of valvular disease; Bicuspid aortic valve disease; and Ischemic mitral regurgitation.

"Valvular Heart Disease" is now an even better source for all your questions on dysfunctions or abnormalities of the heart's four valves. In the third edition, Catherine Otto is joined by Robert Bonow and a team of expert contributors to bring you the latest developments in imaging and treatment. The full-color images and illustrations reflect the cutting-edge imaging and diagnostic modalities - Doppler echo and MR - that are so important for diagnosing aortic valve defects. Superb diagrams, an increased focus on imaging and case-based presentation, and new chapters - on Cardiac MR and CT imaging for valvular heart disease; Genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of valvular disease; Bicuspid aortic valve disease; and Ischemic mitral regurgitation - further enhance this valuable reference. And, the full text is available online where you can search the entire contents.
