Produktinformationen zu „The Right Ventricle in Health and Disease “
The Right Ventricle in Health and Disease provides a comprehensive and up-to-date database and collection of the available information which describes the structure and function of the normal right ventricle. The right ventricular performance and function reserve has now finally moved to the center of the stage as clinicians recognize that the drugs presently used to treat patients with severe pulmonary hypertension do not necessarily improve the performance of the right ventricle and because the survival depends on the right ventricular function that treatment strategies need to be developed to primarily protect the right ventricle from failing. In-depth chapters discuss right heart function and failure in patients with congenital heart diseases, review modern imaging techniques used to describe right ventricular form and function in patients with right heart failure (including cardiac MRI and PET scanning), describe ventricular interdependence: the left ventricle in pulmonary hypertension and discuss the concept of the sick lung circulation and its contribution to right heart failure. Treatment strategies of chronic right heart failure including drugs and mechanical devices are also discussed.

Autoren-Porträt
Norbert F. Voelkel, M.D., is the first incumbent of the E. Raymond Fenton, M.D., Chair in Pulmonary Disease at VCU. The endowed chair aims to support a distinguished faculty member in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine. Voelkel, professor in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine at VCU and director of the Victoria W. Johnson Center for Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Research, is a leading researcher of pulmonary and vascular physiology and pathophysiology. This endowed chair was created by Dr. E. Raymond Fenton, who graduated from the MCV School of Medicine in 1930, and his wife. Voelkel's past experience includes a distinguished career in research and education and quality management at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. His scholarly works are published in prestigious peer review journals.
