Descripción

Clearly written, highly illustrated, and designed for quick reference, Kern's Cardiac Catheterization Handbook, 8th Edition, is the resource of choice for every member of the cardiac cath team. Widely regarded as the “bible” of cardiac catheterization, this portable, accessible primer provides a straightforward, practical explanation of the lab and its complex procedures for cardiac fellows, residents, nurses, and all cath lab personnel. Initial chapters assist the novice with descriptions of how procedures flow, what steps to learn first, and other essential information. Later chapters are devoted to special techniques, high-risk procedures, research techniques, percutaneous coronary interventions, and optimization of outcomes—all with a focus on treatment protocols for every procedure.
