A thorough exploration of the interaction between erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and the pulmonary vasculature in a variety of disease states-an important topic not addressed by other books.The lungs accommodate the entire cardiac output, and the pulmonary vessels are well known for their metabolic and endocrine functions, as well as gas exchange. The interaction of the pulmonary circulation with the cellular elements of blood has received less attention. Interactions of Blood and the Pulmonary Circulation covers many topics of interest to the clinician. In particular, chapters on sickle cell anemia provide a wealth of information on mechanisms of vascular occlusion, suggesting new approaches to treatment for the cardiologist and the pulmonary and intensive care physician. Intensivists will also enjoy the chapters on the role of leukocytes and inflammation in lung injury, and those on the contribution of platelets and thrombosis in pulmonary hypertension. The long-term management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is covered in detail.

A Parent's Guide to Heart Disorders was first published in 1988. The outlook for children with heart disease is much brighter today than it was just a few decades ago; medical and surgical advances now make successful treatment possible. Yet, as the field of pediatric cardiology becomes increasingly technical, parents are in greater need of clear, readable information on the subject. The authors of this book know that informed parents can best allay a child's fears, prepare the child for treatment, and assist in recovery. In A Parent's Guide to Heart Disorders, they describe the structure and function of the normal heart and then show how the pediatric cardiologist evaluates and tests the young patient. Diagnosis may include several noninvasive procedures -- electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, and echocardiogram -- and a key invasive procedure, cardiac catheterization, now the most accurate and thorough means of assessing the heart's condition. These tests are all carefully described, with a full and reassuring chapter devoted to catheterization, a process often especially worrisome to parents. The book's central chapters deal with the nature and treatment of the most common congenital and acquired heart diseases; the evaluation and care of cardiac arrhythmias, or irregularities of heartbeat; and cardiac surgery -- its development and the role its plays in treatment today. The congenital disorders surveyed are ventricular septal defect, aortic stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great vessels. (Other, less common congenital diseases are described in an appendix.) The acquired, or postnatal, disorders covered are cardiomyopathy (a broad range of conditions that affect the heart muscle), rheumatic fever, bacterial endocarditis, Kawasaki disease, mitral valve prolapse, and pericarditis. The last chapters offer sensible advice on coping with everyday life -- for both parents and children -- and on conAuthor: James Moller, William Neal, William Hoffman Paperback: 164 pages Company: Univ Of Minnesota Press (1988-06-30) (1988-06-30) ISBN: 0816669112 List Price: $40.00 Amazon Price: $40.00

Reflexology can help you help yourself—or another—address the symptoms of heart disorders. Multiple studies show apositive impact of reflexology on heart rate and blood pressure, particularly systolic blood pressure.Other research: • Angina— Chinese researchers found“Disappearnace of symptoms” when reflexology was applied during an active onset of angina. “Following a 10-day course of daily 50 minute foot reflexology sessions, nocturnal attacks of premature beats were relieved though premature beats still occurred occasionally.” • Cardio-Vascular System: A British researcher found“significantly greater reductions in baroreceptor reflex sensitivity” for the reflxology group. • Chest pain: A British researcher found““three of the four (study participants) experienced a complete relief from their original symptoms after nine months and the remaining patient reported a reduction in pain.” • Coronary heart disease: Chinese researchers found, after 30-40 consecutive days of reflexology, average results were: (1) clinical symptoms: “chest distress and angina pectoris disappeared” (2) blood pressure/heart rate, reflexotherapy group (before): +185/80 / 86-74 and (after): +160/75 / 72-70 blood pressure/heart rate, pharmacotherapy group (before): +180/80 / 78-72 and (after): +160/80 / 76-70 (3) blood fat: “slightly changed” (4) ECG: “improved remarkably” Reflexology Rescues provides easy-to-learn and easy-to-do information, including fully described and illustrated techniques. Reflexology is the application of pressure techniques to specific reflex areas of the feet and hands for the purpose of impacting the body and its health. Reflexology has been practiced in cultures all around the world since the time of the Egyptian pharaohs. Now 170 studies have demonstrated its effectiveness for impacting some 78 health concerns. Reflexology Rescues are presented by Barbara & Kevin Kunz, reflexology practitioners, teachers and researchers with more than 30 year of experience. The Kunzes are authors of 18 reflexology books published in 20 languages and 64 foreign editions.
