Contemporary Cardiology: Pathogenesis and Treatment

Arnaoutakis, George J.; Sultan, Ibrahim; Upchurch Jr., Gilbert R.

Aortic aneurysms are common and may be lethal if undetected and leading to rupture. Aortic disease is among the leading cause of death in the United States with aneurysm disease specifically being the 13th leading cause. Along with increasing life expectancy, the frequency with which cardiovascular specialists will encounter patients with aortic disease is also increasing. Therefore, it is important that physicians who deal with the aging population, such as cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, and cardiologists be familiar with the diagnosis and management principles of aortic aneurysms. The lack of effective medical therapy makes timely surgical intervention the only viable treatment option for aortic aneurysms once they attain a certain diameter. Unfortunately, aortic aneurysms are clinically silent until patients present with catastrophic aortic rupture.

This book is intended to be an authoritative and comprehensive volume dedicated to aortic disease with particular emphasis on aortic aneurysms in line with the previous edition. The current proposed book builds on the initial edition by focusing on aneurysms and adding chapters on other aortic pathology involving the entire length of the aorta from aortic root to terminal aorta, thereby appealing to an even broader audience consisting of cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, and cardiologists. While the initial chapters deal with suchtopics as genetics, inflammation, and imaging modalities, the vast extent of the book is meant to serve as a primer on clinical care, specifically on surgery for aortic aneurysms and other aorta-related conditions.
Aortic Aneurysms is a vital resource resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students who practice or are training to practice cardiovascular surgery and cardiology.
