Abbott:
Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease
By Maude Abbott
2006 (revised ed), 118 pages, 24
pages of illus, $60 list
The American Heart Association
published Maude Abbott’s Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease in 1936. The Atlas
was an important contribution to the understanding of cardiac defects and
helped provide the stimulus for rapid advances in the diagnostic, physiologic,
and surgical aspects of congenital heart disease over the following decades.
This reprinting of the Atlas underlines the importance of Abbott’s contribution
for the present generation.
Burke:
Tumors of the Heart and Great Vessels (Atlas of Tumor Pathology 3rd Series, Vol
16); 1996, 231 pages, $58. Over 50 distinct tumors and
tumorlike lesions of the heart and great vessels. Entities
are discussed by putative cell of origin, with emphasis on histogenesis,
clinical presentation, radiographic features, gross and microscopic features,
and differential diagnosis. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings,
where helpful in diagnosis, are discussed and illustrated.
Chopra:
Illustrated Textbook of Cardiovascular Pathology; November 2004, 248 pages, $100.
Emphasizing cardiovascular diseases in India and other developing
countries, this text provides an overview of the normal heart and a
straightforward approach to congenital heart disease evaluation using line
diagrams.
Edwards:
Pathology Of Sudden Cardiac Death: An Illustrated Guide
By Brooks Edwards and
Jesse Edwards
2005 (1st ed), 264
pages, 688 illus, $110 list
Pathology of Sudden
Cardiac Death provides a comprehensive review of
cardiovascular disorders. While sudden cardiac death could primarily be seen as
an arrhythmogenic event, this actually represents the minority of cases. For
the vast majority, there is an underlying anatomic disorder of the
cardiovascular system responsible for the ultimate hemodynamic collapse known
as sudden cardiac death.
Houser:
The Operated Heart at Autopsy
By Stuart Houser
2009 (1st ed), 238 pages, 91 illus, $159 list
The Operated Heart at Autopsy addresses
the need of pathologists in practice and, especially, in training to achieve a
new level of competence in dealing, at the time of autopsy, with the anatomic
complexity of a heart that has undergone previous surgical treatment, whether
that treatment occurred in the recent or remote past.
Khan:
Encyclopedia of Heart Diseases; March 2005, 584 pages,
$130. An
accurate and reliable source of in-depth information on the diseases that kill
more than 12 million individuals worldwide each year. In one volume, this Encyclopedia
thoroughly covers these ailments and includes in-depth analysis of less common
and rare heart conditions to round out the volume's scope.
McManus:
Atlas of Cardiovascular Pathology for the Clinician
By Bruce M McManus and Eugene
Braunwald
2008 (2nd ed), 300 pages, $149 list
Provides the reader
with a comprehensive, visually-striking presentation
of all aspects of cardiovascular pathology. Over 700 superb illustrations, published alongside brief,
explanatory text, fully explain difficult concepts and procedures in a clear
and definitive fashion.
Patrick: Handbook of the Vulnerable Plague; February 2004, 250
pages, $70. This book looks into
what exactly is the vulnerable plague, how can it be detected, who are likely
candidates for vulnerable plague.
All the contributors are respected worldwide for their work with
ruptured plague.
Shepro:
Microvascular Research: Biology and Pathology;
May 2005, 1008 pages, $280. The
first book devoted exclusively to this vital systemic component of the
cardiovascular system. Provides up
to date mini-reviews of normal functions and clinical states. A two-volume set comprising a broad,
interdisciplinary work that encompasses basic research and clinical
applications equally.
Silver:
Cardiovascular Pathology; 2001 (3rd
edition), 896 pages, 1144 illus., $310 The only comprehensive text on
the pathology of the cardiovascular system - in a single, easy to manage
volume. Generously
illustrated and emphasizes recent advances in molecular pathology and the most
relevant clinicopathologic correlations.
Smith:
A Practical Atlas of Congenital Heart Disease; 2003, 464 pages, $209. Designed to guide the reader through
the examination of the congenitally malformed heart, referring to its anatomic
characteristics and surgical management.
Line drawings identify the diagnostic features and emphasize important
surgical landmarks. Many rare and
unique cases are illustrated.
Stewart:
Atlas of Biopsy Pathology for Heart and Lung Transplantation; 2001, 200
pages, $160. Abundantly illustrated atlas features focused text with
summary tables, guidance in the application of grading systems for rejection,
and extensive references.
Virmani: Cardiovascular Pathology; 2001 (2nd edition), 528 pages, $115. This succinct text covers the pathology
of cardiovascular diseases including ischemic heart disease and reviews the
many recent advances that have led to new concepts in cardiovascular pathology
and pathophysiology. The text
emphasizes general approaches to heart examination and outlines expectations
and limitations of pathologic assessment of cardiovascular disease.
Virmani:
