Build a deeper understanding of cardiovascular medicine through a comprehensive exploration of heart disease, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and long-term cardiovascular health.
Heart disease remains one of the most significant health challenges worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Understanding cardiovascular conditions requires more than learning isolated facts. It demands a solid foundation in anatomy, physiology, risk assessment, diagnostic evaluation, disease mechanisms, and evidence-based clinical management.
This book offers a clear introduction to cardiovascular medicine, connecting core scientific principles with practical clinical knowledge. It explores cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, explaining how the heart functions, how blood circulates, and how cardiovascular health evolves throughout life.
Readers will learn the fundamentals of cardiovascular assessment, including symptom evaluation, physical examination, laboratory testing, electrocardiography, cardiac imaging, and diagnostic procedures. The book also covers major cardiovascular disorders and the key principles behind their diagnosis and management.
Detailed chapters examine cardiovascular risk factors, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health, hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic coronary syndromes, acute coronary syndromes, and myocardial infarction. Additional sections cover heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, preventive cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, and strategies that support long-term cardiovascular wellness.
