Disorders of Cardiac Function [antikvár]

about the book . Disorders of Cardiac Function brings together an original association of papers on the electrical and mechanical function of the heart. These contributions, from the international experts in the field, highlight the pathological and electrophysiologic features of the heart which are most applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases. The first five chapters cover electrophysiology, including the disorders of A-V conduction and new concepts for diagnosis and treatment of tachyarrhythmias in the Wolff-Parkinson-White-Syndrome. The last five chapters focus on hemodynamics, including ventricular function in coronary heart disease in the pressure and volume overloaded heart, in myocardial disease, and myocardial function during exercise. Disorders of Cardiac Function provides cardiologists, rehabilitation therapists, exercise physiologists, and internists with the timely, up-to-date information they need to advance their research and cHnical practice. about the editors Helmut Roskamm is Director of the Benedikt Kreutz Rehabilitationszentrum für Herz-und Kreislaufkranke, Bad Krozingen, Federal Republic of Germany, and he is also Professor of medicine and cardiology at the University of Freiburg in Breisgau. He received the M.D. degree (1958) from the University of Freiburg. Dr. Roskamm's research interests focus on exercise physiology, hemodynamics in coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction at a young age, and the functional effects of aortocoronary bypass surgery. Dr. Roskamm is a member of the German Society of Circulatory Research, the German Association of Internal Medicine, the WHO-Advisory Board, and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. Georg Csapo was Head of the Department of Electrophysiology, Benedikt Kreutz Rehabilitationszentrum für Herz- und Kreislaufkranke, Bad Krozingen, Federal RepubHc of Germany, before his untimely death in 1980. Dr. Csapo received his M.D. degree (1957) fron; the University of Szeged.
