About the Book

Along with a strong focus on patient care the new Hurst's THE HEART includes a new look and organization. Each chapter has been systematically overhauled with an emphasis on streamlining the content for a focused presentation of the LATEST THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES and the EVIDENCE-BASED DATA that support them. CLINICAL GUIDELINES are included to equip you with the critical information for optimal patient care in an increasingly time-pressured, cost/benefit environment. WHAT'S NEW in the Tenth Edition * Expanded coverage of molecular biology of blood vessels and myocardium* More information on testing modalities--especially those related to nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging, MRI and PET* New emphasis on managing heart failure, including interventional techniques and new drug therapy strategies* Additional chapters on the biology of coronary heart disease * Expanded sections related to prevention, diagnosis and treatment* More emphasis on integrating the science of cardiac care with treatment* Easy-to-reference, evidence-based practice guidelines where appropriate* New insight on the human genome project and its implications* Techniques for clinical evaluation of the patient* Late-breaking reports on clinical trials* Heart disease in diabetics* New sections on nonsurgical interventions in cardial and peripheral vascular disease
