Aimed at doctors with a general interest in cardiology as well as specialists, 'Problem Solving in Cardiology' will appeal to a wide audience of physicians who routinely see patients with cardiovascular complications. This book presents a selection of challenging cases seen in everyday practice, highlighting learning points and recent developments made in the field. Each case is concise and formatted simply, logically leading the reader through clinical presentations, with an emphasis on pictorial learning including electrocardiograms, angiograms and algorithms for most cases.A key addition to

This book considers paradigmatic clinical cases in order to cast light on key issues relating to elective or emergency stent implantation and the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation. The topics addressed include the optimal periprocedural antithrombotic treatment (uninterrupted vs interrupted OAC, intraprocedural use of heparin and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, etc.), the most appropriate type of stent (bare metal vs drug eluting vs “bioactive”), the optimal regimen (e.g., triple therapy of OAC, aspirin, and clopidogrel vs the combination of OAC and a single antiplatelet agent), and the most suitable duration of the antithrombotic treatment prescribed at discharge (1 vs 6–12 months). The case-based management recommendations will be of wide practical value in the current health care context, where percutaneous coronary intervention is available even to patients with relevant co-morbidities, such as those warranting long-term OAC, and the indications for OAC are much broader than in the past. The book will appeal especially to clinical and interventional cardiologists, internal medicine specialists, hematologists, and family physicians and will also be of interest to cardiology and internal medicine residents and fellows.

"The global prevalence of hypertension was estimated to be 1.13 billion in 2015, with the overall prevalence of around 26% of the world's population and around 30-4% of those aged 18 years and above. Hypertension is a risk factor for many cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular-related conditions, and hypertension substantially contributes to premature mortality. In 2017, it was estimated that hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for all-cause mortality worldwide, accounting for over 10 million deaths and 218 million disability-adjusted life years. It is believed that there is a global epidemic of yet unknown proportions as abnormally elevated blood pressures are often asymptomatic. Indeed, the first diagnosis of hypertension is often made when the individual presents with a myocardial infarction or a stroke. Hypertension is thus rightly often referred to as the 'silent killer'. Modifiable factors impacting hypertension include lifestyle changes such as smoking, diet and physical activity levels. Public health initiatives for hypertension such as population and opportunistic screening and patient education to promote 'heart healthy' lifestyles are critical for primary prevention, detection and management of hypertension"--
