Книга: Cardiac Surgery in Chronic Renal Failure.2007
This book concerns the treatment of cardiac disease in chronic renal failure patients who represent a specific group of patnts that almost universally will develop coronary artery disease and frequently valvular problems all secondary to their renal failure. Unfortunately, this same group is at increased risk for surgical/percutaneous intervention. Many physicians will struggle with patient management issues due to the inherent difficulties and increased risk of many treatment options. The book will summarize the current technology and treatment plans for these patients that will optimize their long-term outcomes. It will become the bible on current treatment that many physicians and other health care professionals will want to reference every time they are consulted on a patient with renal failure and significant heart disease. Cardiovascular disease remains the most common cause of death for patients with chronic renal failure, and although cardiac surgery can frequently relieve symptoms and prolong survival, it is still associated with significant complications. This book addresses cardiac surgical issues in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
