Essential Cardiac Catheterization

Essential Cardiac Catheterization

by Mark Gunning (Author), James Nolan (Author), Rob Butler (Author)

Synopsis

The development of cardiac catheterization has proved to be a very significant step in the field of heart medicine. It is currently one of the most accurate tests in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, offering speedy non-invasive diagnosis and rapid results without the need for a hospital stay.



This highly practical pocket reference provides invaluable advise on all aspects of the technique, including a description of the procedure and methods involved, its indications and, importantly, contraindications, and any likely complications. Important issues such as patient selection and consent, and use in special situations, are also considered.



Essential Cardiac Catheterization is an invaluable guide for the cardiologist and cardiac radiographer, in training and in practice, to be referred to often in the clinical setting.

Media Reviews

This book is the ideal introduction to the field. It does not aim to replace the more detailed and extensive existing text books for trainee operators, but for beginners in the cath lab setting, be it a junior doctor, nurse, physiologist or radiographe, this is highly recommended.
