The first part of the book analyzes in detail the disease’s pathophysiology, its diagnostic work up as well as the prognostic stratification, and illustrates the role of genetics and gene-environment interaction. The second part presents current and future treatment options, highlighting the importance of long-term and individualized treatments and follow-up.Furthermore, it discusses open issues, such as the apparent healing phenomenon, the early prognosis of arrhythmic events or the use of genetic testing in clinical practice.Offering a multidisciplinary approach for optimizing the clinical management of DCM, this book is an invaluable aid not only for the clinical cardiologists, but for all physicians involved in the care of this challenging disease.

Bioelectromagnetic and Subtle Energy Medicine focuses on a wide variety of evidence-based bioelectromagnetic and subtle energy therapies for disorders ranging from cancer, cardiomyopathy, and Parkinson's disease to depression, anxiety, and pain. Since publication of the first edition more than a decade ago, there have been so many advances in these and other diseases, that a thorough revision is required for this resource to remain the gold standard in a burgeoning field. This second edition updates previous topics and features many new chapters describing novel approaches that promise to replace drugs or surgery because they are more effective and much safer, such as rTMS for depression, MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound for bone and uterine tumors, and TheraBionic LEET for liver cancer. Others discuss biological water (H3O2) that acts like a battery, health benefits of Earthing, malignant and other brain tumors from cell and cordless phones, visualizing and measuring energy fields in humans and nature, making sense of homeopathy and "memory of water," basic science support for acupuncture, electrosensitivity, ion cyclotron resonance, the role of the pineal gland, the health effects of solar storms and terrestrial influences, and why Bioelectric Resonance Therapy bridges Chinese and Western medicine. This is only a sampling of the 50 chapters contributed by authorities from the United States, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, China, Japan, and Iran.

This thorough review of cardiac and cardiovascular pathology covers ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, valvular disease, transplant pathology, cardiomyopathy, cardiac devices, congenital heart disease and more, illustrated with macro- and microscopic images.

The eighth edition of COMPREHENSIVE CARDIAC CARE focuses on updated, comprehensive cardiac research and technology relating the patient care in the areas of coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and cardiomyopathies. The text moves from a review of cardiac anatomy and physiology to an assessment of cardiovascular diagnostic studies and provides a well-illustrated extensive explanation of cardiac dysrhythmia and an introduction to ECG. Ensuing chapters offer the latest information related to the diagnosis and management of heart disease, and addresses new and increasingly complex options involved in acute and long-term patient management. This standard in cardiac care education is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and education programs.

In June 2000 Peter Houghton, a counselor in palliative care, was weeks from death due to cardiomyopathy. He had made his preparations and had said most of his good-byes. Then he was offered the chance to participate in a clinical trial. Six months later he was not only still alive, but planning a long distance walk for charity and writing this book about his experiences.With humor and honesty, his story chronicles the uneven path back from the brink of death. Combining knowledge drawn from his counseling work with other dying people and his unique personal experience, he describes what dying really feels like and explains the physical processes it involves. He also raises profound questions about medical trials and palliative care, and especially about our attitudes to life and death, and the way we approach death.

Paul and Emma Johnson's 8-year-old son, Max, was a normal, healthy, fun-loving child. December 8th, 2016, changed all that forever; he was rushed to hospital and it was found that he had an enlarged heart. Max was suffering from heart failure and diagnosed with a condition called dilated cardiomyopathy. His heart had become so large that it was no longer able to pump the blood around his body effectively.In the bleak medical terminology with which the Johnson family were to become all-too familiar over the coming days and months, they were told that their son had a 33 per cent chance of getting better, a 33 per cent chance of requiring a heart transplant and a 33 per cent chance of passing away. In what felt like the blink of an eye, their world was turned upside down. At the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Max was placed on the urgent list for a heart transplant.This book follows the ups, downs, twists and turns of this tumultuous journey, the pain of waiting for an organ, of seeing other children not make it, and The Mirror newspaper's 'Change the Law for Life' campaign - for which Max became the poster boy. It recounts how it felt to finally 'get the call'.The book also covers the relationship the Johnson family have built with Max's donor family, with whom they have developed a close bond. Two families from opposite ends of the country intertwined through tragedy and fate.
