- Concise and practically focused content for general cardiologists, cardiac interventionalists, cardiac surgeons, non-invasive imaging specialists and heart failure specialists
- Encourages readers to consider managing patients within the Heart Team concept
- Reveals increasingly important role of the right sided heart in patient management
- Provides a comprehensive overview of all therapeutic options in the management of tricuspid valve disease
This book provides a comprehensive overview of tricuspid valve disease and an overview of different therapeutic options such as surgical and percutaneous approaches, current clinical trials and registries in the field of tricuspid valve disease. The book has an educational goal with key messages highlighted at the end of each chapter to assist comprehension of the often complex concepts.
Practical Manual of Tricuspid Valve Diseases assists the clinician in dealing with different manifestations of tricuspid valve disease and providing help for choosing the best option for the management of these patients. It therefore serves as the standard reference regarding all aspects of tricuspid valve disease in adults and will be of importance to all medical professionals involved in the management of these patients.
