Otto C.M., Bonow R.O. (eds.) Valvular Heart Disease

3rd ed. — Saunders /Elsevier, 2009. — 466 p. — (A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease) — ISBN: 978-1-4160-5892-2.Valvular Heart Disease is now an even better source for all your questions on dysfunctions or abnormalities of the heart's four valves. In the third edition, Catherine Otto is joined by Robert Bonow and a team of expert contributors to bring you the latest developments in imaging and treatment. The full-color images and illustrations reflect the cutting-edge imaging and diagnostic modalities-Doppler echo and MR-that are so important for diagnosing aortic valve defects. Superb diagrams, an increased focus on imaging and case-based presentation, and new chapters-on Cardiac MR and CT imaging for valvular heart disease; Genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of valvular disease; Bicuspid aortic valve disease; and Ischemic mitral regurgitation-further enhance this valuable reference. And, the full text is available online at expertconsult.com where you can search the entire contents.The Burden of Valvular Heart Disease
