This book reviews all the current issues and information available in medical literature regarding acute right heart failure, a complex clinical syndrome not particularly well highlighted in current research due to the disproportionate attention that has been given to left heart failure. It compiles all the precursors leading to this condition, beginning with normal right heart physiology and moving to different right heart pathologies. It offers comprehensive guidance on the early assessment and management of acute right heart failure, and embraces all current research and clinical and experimental trials on this acute syndrome.
Conversations on Cardiac Physiology
This book corrects widespread misconceptions about heart physiology. It argues that depolarisation can be explained by electron outflow, hypertension is not caused by a salty diet, and coronary artery disease risk is not correlated with total cholesterol.
