A concise bedside resource covering the wide-ranging info you have to take care of cardiology sufferers.

Essential for everyone from attending cardiologists and fellows to nurses, doctor assistants, college students, and trainees. The content material spans both primary and superior information including:

- Principles of physical examination and symptom assessment

- Interpretation of EKG rhythms and invasive monitoring

- Cardiac medications

- Disease classification systems

- Evidence-based medication including leading medical trials underlying present treatment recommendations

Plus, you'll find progressive features similar to:

- 60 calculators for fast evaluation of data starting from the simple (aortic valve area) to the advanced (GRACE danger score, PE prediction)

- Cardiac Catheterization review data together with coronary artery anatomy, catheter fundamentals, and images of ordinary views with labels

- Details of 20 classification systems in various areas starting from easy (NYHA Class) to the complicated (GCS, TIMI steady unstable angina risk)

- Concise code blue algorithms, together with treatment doses and routes

- Basic echo evaluation material, including regular values for valves and chambers, fundamental formulae, and pictures of normal views with labeled structures. Additionally, consists of basics of scanning technique/sequencing and picture interpretation for those nights on name when you’re the tech.

- EKG criteria in a concise, straightforward reference

- EP fundamentals including a glossary of frequent terms and programming modalities, interrogation strategies and regular values

- General cardiology basics, together with concise entries on widespread diagnoses, tips/structure to prepare a clinical day on the wards or within the unit, and review of primary cardiac anatomy

- Medication info for cardiac medicine only, with doses/routes/indications/warnings, as properly as fundamental physiology (including necessary ideas like adrenergic receptors and what they do)

- Interpretation of widespread values in the CCU, together with PA catheter hemodynamics, oxygenation, and the fundamentals of ventilator management

- Physical exam info, together with analysis of murmurs, maneuvers, and customary findings

Pre-operative evaluation basics, together with algorithms

- The rhythm analyzer – a searchable database of coronary heart rhythms with definitions and scientific significance; could be narrowed by numerous options (QRS width, regularity, etc) that will help you focus in on a analysis. Includes data on mechanisms of electrical initiation and conduction throughout the coronary heart.

- Almost 20 danger calculators and evaluation instruments, for various circumstances including MI, angina, PE, a-fib, CHF and for procedures such as PCI and CABG – and heaps of others

- 100 of crucial cardiology trials, summarized and categorized, with as much element as you need. This data is the muse of much of what we do in cardiology, and is fertile pimping materials. No extraneous data – simply what you have to know

CCU Guide is up to date each 6 months with essentially the most present information, including relevant trials and new drug information. An wonderful value!
