SynopsisPractical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics provides an in-depth understanding of waveforms and tracings seen in various disease states as well as pathophysiology behind those findings. Practical issues that are rarely discussed or focused upon in textbooks are highlighted in this book with detailed waveform analysis. Pitfalls in the hemodynamic assessment of valvular diseases, constriction, tamponade, pulmonary hypertension, shunt pathology, congenital heart disease, coronary disease, and right and left ventricular failure are provided. Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics also includes case-based and tracingbased self-assessment problems. e reader will learn to identify disease states and waveform subtleties from single tracings or from case studies and will increase skills in interpreting tracings, understanding notches and artifacts, and formulating a diagnosis. Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics Features: Complete presentation of basic and advanced hemodynamics Numerous case studies allow the reader to learn real-life application of hemodynamic data in clinical decision making Questions and explanations provides the reader with self-assessment and problem-solving skills 325 illustrations and 25 tables with detailed legends allowing for illustrated learning ", Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics provides an in-depth understanding of waveforms and tracings seen in various disease states as well as pathophysiology behind those findings. Practical issues that are rarely discussed or focused upon in textbooks are highlighted in this book with detailed waveform analysis. Caveats in the hemodynamic assessment of valvular diseases, constriciion, tamponade, pulmonary hypertension, shunt pathology, and right and left ventricular failure are provided. Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics also provides case-based and tracing-based quizzes. The reader wil learn to identify disease states and waveform subtleties from single tracings or from case studies. The reader will take the initiative to interpret tracings, understand notches, artifacts, and formulate a diagnosis. Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics will feature: Complete presentation of basic and advanced hemodynamics Numerous case studies allow the reader to learn real-life application of hemodynamic data in clinical decision-making Quizzes and explanations provides the reader with self-assessment and problem solving skills Over 300 illustrations with detailed discussion, "The average life expectancy of a male born on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota today is somewhere in the mid-40s-the lowest life expectancy of all peoples not only in the United States but the entire Western Hemisphere. Written by and for nurses, this is the first text to focus exclusively on American Indian health and nursing. In fact, it is likely the only nursing book to even mention American Indian health as a distinct entity. The text addresses the profound disparities in policy, health care law, and health outcomes that affect American Indians, and describes how these disparities, woven into the cultural, environmental, historical, and geopolitical fabric of American Indian society, are responsible for the marked lack of well-being among American Indians. American Indian nurse authors, natives of nine unique American Indian cultures, address the four domains of health- physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional-within each region to underscore the many stunning inequalities of opportunity for health and well-being within the American Indian culture compared with "Anglo" culture. In an era of cultural competency, these expert nurse authors bring awareness of what is perhaps the least understood minority population in the United States. The text covers the history of American Indians with a focus on the drastic changes that occurred following European contact. Included are excerpts from relevant journal articles, historical reports, interviews with tribal health officials, and case studies. The book addresses the roots of American Indian nursing, including coverage of indigenous knowledge and traditional approaches to health and healing. It examines current issues surrounding American Indian nursing, nursing education, and health care within 10 distinct American Indian cultural populations, including a crucial discussion of the health care needs of American Indians living in urban areas.", Offers an understanding of waveforms and tracings seen in various disease states as well as the pathophysiology behind those findings. This title helps readers to learn to identify disease states and waveform subtleties from single tracings or from case studies.
