Practical Cardiovascular Pathology - Tapa dura

This is a practical, highly illustrated guide to cardiovascular pathology for general pathologists. Covering all aspects of cardiovascular disease apart from transplantation, including the investigation of sudden death. The concise, practically oriented text is complemented throughout by high-quality colour images of both gross pathology and histopathology.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the commonest causes of death and morbidity in the community, and interventional procedures for the diagnosis and management of heart disease are increasing. All general pathologists will therefore see specimens from the cardiovascular system on a regular basis. This highly practical and accessible bench book will answer immediate problems faced by pathologists in both diagnostic and autopsy work. The emphasis is on anatomy, practical approaches to dissection of the heart, post-operative deaths and sudden deaths, as well as the full range of disease entities.
This book will appeal to all general pathologists and is also a good starting point for those pathologists intending to specialize in cardiovascular work.
