Description

This text assesses the current issues in invasive cardiology, while defining the known status of various techniques and devices. With contributions from experts in this specialty, the reader is given a complete update in the latest techniques and how they can best be used for specific cardiac disease. Some of the topics include angioplasty in the treatment of acute MI, angiography after thrombolysis, catheterization in the adult with congenital heart disease, etc.
