Atlas of Cardiovascular Pathology

Here is a well organized, comprehensive, and useful new reference on the surgical pathology of the cardiovascular system. Ample illustrations of the common and rare surgical diseases of both the heart and blood vessels help the reader evaluate a full range of conditions. It is a welcome addition to the Atlases in Diagnostic Surgical Pathology series. Features broad coverage of the field, including evaluation of endomyocardial biopsy, grading of transplant rejection, evaluation of atherectomy specimens, evaluation and diagnosis of excised cardiac valves, differential diagnosis of cardiac tumours, the evaluation of biopsies for pulmonary hypertension, and an illustrated discussion of the vasculitic syndromes. Depicts gross specimens and photomicrographs of cardiovascular disease with a stunning collection of over 380 colour and 60 black and white photographs. Includeds multiple illustrations of many disease processes. Emphasizes surgical pathology, guiding the reader to the proper interpretation of cardiovascular surgical material and providing a springboard for further investigation. Makes reference easy by discussing pathologic entities by organ and by discussing blood vessels in separate sections on great vessels, pulmonary vasculature, and peripheral vessels.
