Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Cardiac amyloidosis has gone, in less than a decade, from a disease usually found at autopsy to one with three FDA-approved therapies, a diagnostic pathway that usually avoids biopsy entirely, and an active pipeline that includes CRISPR gene editing. Written by a board-certified cardiologist, this guide walks patients and families through everything they need to understand: the difference between AL and ATTR amyloidosis, the red-flag symptoms (carpal tunnel, spinal stenosis, neuropathy) that are often missed for years, how the PYP scan lets most patients skip a heart biopsy, all three currently approved ATTR-CM medications and how they compare, the honest state of emerging therapies including a frank look at the 2025 safety pause on CRISPR gene editing, real 2026 drug pricing and Medicare/insurance coverage pathways, and practical day-to-day guidance for living well with this diagnosis. This book is for general education and does not replace the individualized advice of your own physician.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The lines are getting bigger. Is her heart getting stronger 'It is one of the most common questions a family asks at a bedside, and the answer is the opposite of what it looks like.In The Last Beat, board-certified cardiologist Bishnu Subedi, MD, FACC explains what actually happens to the heart in the final hours of life - in the same plain language he uses with families in the room. The book is built around the two things families are actually looking at: the shapes on the monitor, and the sounds in the air.Because the hardest part of a final vigil is often not the loss itself. It is spending the last night of someone's life staring at a screen you cannot read, translating every change on it into a fear that they are in pain - when they are not, and when the only thing standing between you and a peaceful last night together was a two-minute explanation nobody thought to give.This book is that explanation.Inside: - Why a slowing, widening rhythm is the wiring shutting down - not a heart fighting back- What the 'death rattle' really is, why it is not drowning, and why more IV fluid usually makes it worse- Terminal lucidity: the sudden final rally, what we know and honestly don't, and how to use the window- Why turning off an implanted defibrillator is not ending a life - and why that conversation must happen early- The many roads to a stopped heart: inherited electrical faults, cardiomyopathies, electrolyte catastrophes, and the deaths that stay unexplained- Cardiac arrest versus heart attack - two words used interchangeably for entirely different emergencies- How death is actually determined, by the heart and by the brain, and how organ donation really works- What acute grief does to the heart of the person left behindFourteen chapters, eleven appendices, and twenty-six diagrams, anatomical illustrations, and ECG tracings prepared for this book. Plus one-page quick-reference cards designed to be photocopied and kept at a bedside, a 112-question FAQ, a glossary, a symptom log, a fully referenced source list, and a page of questions worth asking your care team.Written for anyone who wants to understand what happens to the heart in the last minutes - for patients and families at a bedside tonight, and for the nurses, chaplains, hospice aides, and physicians standing beside them.Note: This book is educational and is not a substitute for medical advice from your own clinicians. All patients described are composites; no individual can be identified.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Written by a U.S. board-certified cardiologist, for patients and families who just heard the word "amyloidosis" for the first time.A cardiac amyloidosis diagnosis raises more questions than any single doctor's appointment can answer. What actually is this disease? Is it the AL kind or the ATTR kind - and does that difference matter? Why does everyone keep asking about carpal tunnel surgery? Which of the new drugs is right for you, and what will it actually cost? What can you still do - travel, exercise, work - and what should you watch for?This guide answers all of it, in plain language, without talking down to you.Inside, you'll find: - A clear explanation of what cardiac amyloidosis is, how AL and ATTR differ, and why this disease - once considered vanishingly rare - is now recognized in a meaningful share of older adults with unexplained heart failure- The full diagnostic pathway explained step by step: blood and urine tests, the PYP scan, genetic testing, and what your specific results actually mean- An in-depth look at every FDA-approved treatment - tafamidis, acoramidis, vutrisiran, and more - including how stabilizers and silencers work differently, and how to think through the choice with your cardiologist- A realistic, current picture of the research pipeline: gene editing, new PET tracers, and amyloid-clearing antibodies, explained with both the promise and the real safety history- Straight talk about drug costs, Medicare coverage, and the assistance programs that bring six-figure list prices down to what most patients actually pay- A full chapter on medications to avoid or use with caution - because several drugs that are completely standard in other heart conditions are not safe here- A dedicated emergency chapter: exactly when to call your doctor versus go straight to the ER- Practical, day-to-day guidance most patient guides skip - diet, exercise, travel, sleep, intimacy, orthostatic hypotension, caregiver burnout, and advance care planning- Recurring patient stories that show how these concepts play out in real life- A complete glossary, doctor-visit worksheets, a daily symptom tracker, and QR codes linking directly to major patient organizations This item is printed on demand.
