Riassunto

The pressure is falling, the lactate is rising, and the next decision cannot wait.

Modern Textbook of Clinical Cardiac Intensive Care is a bedside guide to the critically ill cardiac patient, from the first signs of shock to the conversation about stopping. Every chapter explains the physiology, gives the number that proves it, and ends on the decision you will have to make.

What is inside

• 30 chapters in 9 parts: shock and ventricular failure, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, temporary mechanical circulatory support, arrhythmias and resuscitation, valvular, pericardial, aortic, and pulmonary emergencies, organ support, postoperative care, special populations, and end of life.
• Cardiogenic shock, right ventricular failure, and vasoactive drug choice, with hemodynamic monitoring and point-of-care ultrasound taught from pressure and flow to the decision they support.
• Device chapters on the intra-aortic balloon pump, microaxial flow pumps, venoarterial ECMO, and durable ventricular assist devices, including alarms and failure patterns.
• A Key Concepts box in every chapter and 24 clinical vignettes that put the teaching point inside a real decision.
• Nine reference tables at the back (infusions, antiarrhythmics, antithrombotics and reversal, pulmonary vasodilators, sedation, support settings, hemodynamic formulas, and scoring systems) and a glossary of 103 terms.

240 board-style questions are printed inside the book.

Every chapter closes with eight clinical-case questions, each with five options, mapped to the published certification blueprints for cardiovascular disease and critical care medicine. Each answer explains the reasoning, shows why the wrong options tempt, and ends with a one-line Key Principle. There is nothing to download, no code to enter, and no subscription.

Written for cardiology and critical care fellows, intensivists, advanced practice providers, and the nurses who work beside them, and for anyone preparing for certification in either specialty.

By Sharpe K. Kinder, MD, Jerry D. Hull, MD, and Lillian J. Dillon, RN.

Take it to the unit. Read a chapter, answer its eight questions, then study every explanation.
