knowledge and ideas have proved invaluable It is hoped that the book will be of practical help to doctors, nurses and cardiac scientific officers confronted by typical management problems in the cardiac patient As a practical guide it is necessarily dogmatic and much information is given in list format or in tables, especially in the sections dealing with drug therapy Some subjects in cardiology are often not well covered in clinical training and it is hoped that some sections will help fill any gaps in doctors’ or nurses’ clinical course, e.g sections on congenital heart disease, pacing and cardiac investigations In addition, scientific officers and technical staff should find that the clinical side of cardiology covered here complements their technical training And we hope that anaesthetists and intensive care unit physicians will find the book of value Since the publication of the fifth edition years ago there have been enormous advances in many aspects of cardiology and we have tried to highlight these Many sections have been extensively revised, and in particular those on the cardiomyopathies, coronary disease, heart failure, echocardiography and the heart in systemic disease For ease of access the book now has 17 chapters The rhythm section has been split into two: bradycardias, pacing, implantable cardioverter defibrillators and pacing for heart failure are dealt with in one chapter, and tachycardias and ablation in another There is a new, badly needed chapter on pregnancy in patients with heart disease A summary of the At a Glance Guide for driving in the UK for patients with heart disease is now included in appendix by kind agreement of the DVLA It should be remembered that the full guidance is updated on their website every months In response to suggestions we are now able to include many more figures and illustrations and we hope that these will increase the appeal of the book without significantly increasing its bulk or expense With regret we have still decided not to have a separate section on nuclear cardiology but have included its use in diagnosis where relevant vii viii Preface Practical procedures such as cardiac catheterization cannot be learnt from a book However, interpretation of catheter laboratory data is discussed and it is hoped that the book will be helpful to the doctor learning invasive cardiology or the scientific officer monitoring it Echocardiography is very much a ‘hands-on’ technique and cannot be covered in depth in a book of this size However, this section has been considerably expanded with many more illustrations Of all the specialities in medicine cardiology is right at the front in evidencebased practice There are literally hundreds of trials to guide us in our dayto-day management decisions Most of the trials have acronyms, which have now become part of the language of cardiology We have referred to the most important trials in the text with the reference section expanded in Appendix To save space we have used abbreviations liberally – but only those that are in common use in everyday cardiology practice The list of abbreviations in Appendix should cover these Drug names are changing We have switched where appropriate from the British Approved Name (BAN) to the Recommended Non-proprietary Name (rINN) for medicinal substances Adrenaline and noradrenaline remain unchanged, however Finally, we are very grateful to colleagues who have suggested improvements or the inclusion of new material and would encourage the reader to contact us with suggestions of subjects that are not covered at all or dealt with inadequately R.H Swanton Acknowledgements The work of a large number of authors has contributed to the body of knowledge in this book and it would be impossible to thank them individually or provide detailed references to their work In the list of trials, references and further reading we have been able to incorporate their work and our thanks to them all We are very grateful to many cardiology colleagues, registrars and cardiac technical staff for their enthusiastic help in providing so many ECG pressure tracings and echocardiograms Our thanks also to Ms Kalaiarasi Janagarajan, Mr Justin O’Leary, Ms Vivienne Palmer-White and Dr Stavros Kounas and all our colleagues who have made suggestions for new material or alterations We are indebted to Dr Richard Sutton and Medtronic Ltd for permission to modify their pacing code diagrams, to Dr Simon Horner for his diagram on VT provocation, to Dr PE Gower for permission to include the nomogram for body surface area, to Dr Diana Holdright for the illustrations on septal ablation pressure measurement, to Dr James Moon and Dr Sanjay Prasad for their MRI pictures and to Dr Denis Pellerin for help with the echocardiography section Thanks to Fiona England for her patient acquisition of angiograms and CT scans Our thanks to Medtronic for permission to include the coronary stent diagram and to Boston Scientific Ltd for the picture of the rotablator and the Taxus stent Our thanks to Cheryl Friedland for her invaluable and patient tuition on ICDs and to Rhian Davies for her tireless help with drug queries A particular thanks to Dr Ewa Dzielicka from Krakow who has been of great help in bringing several sections up to date Finally, and last but not least, we would like to thank Gina Almond and Vicky Pittman from Wiley-Blackwell who have been towers of strength and encouragement We are grateful to them for their ideas, their patience and their gentle but regular persistence without which we would never have got this far R.H Swanton S Banerjee ix ...
