From the book reviews: "This book addresses all the various aspects of managing pericardial disease, it is appropriate for the wide variety of clinicians who are tasked with caring for patients with pericardial disease. It is relevant for everyone from emergency room residents learning to diagnose pericardial disease to cardiothoracic surgeons tasked with performing a pericardiectomy. ... This is one of the few books available with the sole purpose of serving as a guide for physicians managing patients with pericardial disease." (Christina Michael, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2014)
The clinical aspects of pericardial disease encompass acute and recurrent pericarditis, pericardial effusion and pericardial tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, and effusive-constrictive pericarditis. These disorders differ not only in clinical presentation but also in the timeline of development, thus management of pericardial disease can be challenging for many clinicians. To assist medical professionals with this often complex area, this book provides an extensive review of pericardial disease evaluation and management in a unified, stepwise pathway-based approach.
Management of Pericardial Disease contains a selection of defining clinical images to guide in identification and management of pericardial disease. Fellows, residents, cardiologists, thoracic medicine physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, radiologists, and intensive care and emergency medicine physicians alike will find this book to be an essential resource for developing the skills and knowledge applicable to managing pericardial disease in patients.
