CARDIOLOGY AT ITS CORE A comprehensive learning resource translating cardiology principles to practice for postgraduate clinicians who are commencing specialist training in cardiology Taking a 'first principles' approach to anatomy, physiology and pathology, Cardiology at its Core explores key areas pertinent to cardiovascular medicine from a conceptual perspective, combining the best points of a handbook and a textbook by translating principles to practice. The text is interspersed with a range of flow charts, tables and diagrams to engage the reader and enable long-term comprehension and recall. Each chapter ends with 'hot points' and self-assessment sections to highlight material of particular relevance and consolidate learning. Landmark trials, including those published as recently as 2022, are highlighted within the main text and summarised succinctly at the end of each chapter for further reading. Cardiology at its Core includes content on: - Underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology, followed by an exploration of diagnostic strategies and management options - Electrophysiological principles, atrial fibrillation, narrow complex tachycardias, broad complex tachycardias, and bradycardias and conduction disease - The cardiac pump, arterial and venous system, regulation of the circulatory system, coronary vasculature, and stable angina and non-invasive testing - Ischaemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, valvular disease, cardiomyopathies, and crucial integration of concepts from bench to bedside Cardiology at its Core is an ideal learning resource for those commencing specialty training. It is also broadly aligned with European guidelines, resulting in the provision of a relevant and contemporary revision aid for those undertaking core specialist examinations prior to completion of training.

Cardiovascular disorder severity analysis in magnetic resonance images (MRI) involves using machine learning techniques to analyze MRI images and assess the severity of cardiovascular disorders. This approach utilizes deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), for image analysis, segmentation, and feature extraction. The severity analysis involves quantifying the extent and location of damaged tissues, narrowing of blood vessels, and other pathological changes related to cardiovascular disorders. This analysis can aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning of patients with cardiovascular disorders. This method has several advantages, including the ability to detect subtle changes in MRI images that may be missed by human observers, the potential to provide more accurate and objective measures of disease severity, and the ability to integrate data from electronic health records and other sources. Overall, this approach has the potential to improve medical decision-making and provide more personalized care for patients with cardiovascular disorders, thus helping to reduce the burden of these conditions on individuals and society.

This unique work presents one of the most significant organ failure condition - cardiocirculatory shock - and the prominent role of Methylene Blue (MB). Through their extensive experience, the authors' consider that the lifesaving feature of MB is still underestimated. For this reason they outline key concepts of MB, mentioning essential experimental data, yet focusing mainly on its application in the care of critically ill patients.In an easy-to-read format, the 18 chapters were organized in a didactically structured order, distributed in four parts. The first part introduces the general conceptual aspects and physiology of the endothelium. The second part presents the particularities of endothelial dysfunction in different types of shock. Methylene blue is discussed in detail in the third part. In the fourth part, particular situations of endothelial dysfunction, such as heart surgery and organ transplantation, are described. Additionally, the two complementary subjects of acid-base balance and the therapeutic use of inhaled nitric oxide are mentioned.Finally, looking for therapeutic alternatives for what we classify as "vasoplegic endothelial dysfunction", MB remains promising as an adjuvant to sympathomimetic amines. The combination of three recently proposed concepts may be useful in obtaining better results against the high mortality rates in critically ill patients. These three concepts are "wide-spectrum vasopressors", vasopressor economy strategies, and microcirculation protection against the harmful effects of using high concentrations of amines.This book¿s translational approach will appeal to a variety of readers within the health specialties of medicine, biomedicine, physiotherapy, nursing, odontology, and basic science.

Training and competing in an Ironman triathlon is not for the faint hearted. Completing an Ironman has been a dream of mine for many years and 2010 was going to be the year I attempted this grueling event. 2.4 miles of swimming followed by 112 miles of biking before finishing with a marathon - 26.2 miles. I signed up for Ironman Arizona in November of 2009, exactly a year in advance. Little did I know at the time that I had been born with multiple holes in my heart. For 41 years, I had been living, training and competing in triathlons with a dysfunctional heart that was slowly failing. This is my inspirational story about my journey from being diagnosed with a life threatening congenital heart defect requiring open heart surgery to my return to competition and racing in an Ironman triathlon, all within eight months.

Secondhand smoke exposure and aging caused synergistic effects on the activation of heart adaptive mechanisms. Active cigarette smoking influences all these pathways. Secondhand smoke exposure always makes human pathological cardiac hypertrophy. In left ventricular individual, secondhand smoke exposure may stimuli first a phase of cardiac hypertrophy. Secondhand smoke increases arterial stiffness and coronary cardiac disease events. Because of secondhand smoke exposure involves the combination of the smoke emitted by the burning end of a tobacco cigarette and the smoke exhaled by the smoker into the environment. Left ventricular pathological hypertrophy due to secondhand smoke exposure was observed in old-age patients, which leads to left ventricular remodeling and loss of function. Left ventricular pathological hypertrophy leads to ventricular remodeling and increases the risk of a cardiovascular event and mortality.
