Book Description :

[spoiler]As recently as four decades ago, the treatment options available for patients with cardiovascular disease were quite limited. The major therapeutic measures included bed rest and warfarin for acute myocardial infarction; nitroglycerin for angina pectoris; dietary sodium restriction, bed rest, digitalis, and mercurial or thiazide diuretics for heart failure; quinidine or procainamide for tachyarrhythmia; large, clumsy pacemakers for complete heart block; sodium restriction and sympathetic blocking agents for severe hypertension; and palliative surgery for a limited number of complex congenital cardiac malformations. Mild or even moderate hypertension was not treated, nor were effective agents available to lower serum cholesterol in patients with coronary artery disease and hypercholesterolemia. Percutaneous coronary revascularization, internal cardioverter-defibrillators, and modern pharmacotherapy of myocardial ischemia and fibrinolysis had not yet been developed. β-Adrenergic antagonists, angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors, and statins also were off in the future. No aspect of medicine has undergone a more radical transformation in the past 40 years than has cardiovascular therapeutics, and the results have been truly spectacular. Overall mortality rates from heart disease have been declining steadily, and the age-adjusted mortality secondary to coronary artery disease,the most common cause of cardiovascular deaths,has been falling at almost 1% per year.Effective treatment-albeit not cure-of almost all forms of heart disease is now possible, allowing a majority of patients with cardiovascular disease to live longer lives of high quality. Dr. Antman and his associate editors-Drs. de Lemos, Givertz, Josephson, Oparil, and Sacks-and a constellation of superb contributing authors should be congratulated on pro
viding the most comprehensive modern text in cardiovascular therapeutics. Instead of focusing narrowly on a single therapeutic modality-drugs,interventional cardiology,devices,or surgery-this contemporary, authoritative, and eminently readable book deals with total patient management. The several types of therapy that can be offered for specific cardiovascular disorders are presented lucidly and in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for managing the vast majority of patients with cardiovascular disease. This excellent text will be of immense value not only to cardiologists but also to internists and primary care physicians, who are shouldering increasing responsibilities for the management of patients with cardiovascular disease. This third edition of Cardiovascular Therapeutics is essentially a new book when compared with its predecessor. There are three new Section Editors (Drs. James de Lemos, Michael Givertz, and Frank Sacks) and many new contributors. Fortytwo of the 55 chapters are new or radically revised. The three appendices, on cardiovascular drugs, pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and circulatory support devices, will be extremely useful. We are very proud that Cardiovascular Therapeutics is a companion to Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine. We hope that the new edition, along with the other books now available as companion volumes to Heart Disease, will serve as an extensive cardiovascular information system.
