The essential resource on cardiac hemodynamics-now in a new edition

Hemodynamic Rounds, Third Edition is intended to help cardiologists and other members of the medical community enhance their understanding of cardiac physiology and its associated hemodynamic presentations in health and disease, including the basic principles of flow and pressure measurements; systemic as well as coronary hemodynamics in normal and diseased states; and changes in hemodynamics following interventional procedures ranging from valvuloplasty to stent placement.

Like its popular predecessors, this new edition draws on case studies to illustrate characteristic cardiac hemodynamic findings and discuss the essential methods used in interpreting pressure waveforms as a diagnostic and monitoring tool.

The text is organized into chapters on specific areas of the heart, common cardiac anomalies, and hemodynamic situations resulting from different therapeutic procedures, and includes both normal and abnormal pressure waveforms. This new edition includes thoroughly revised and updated chapters on specific topics, including:

Mitral stenosis and mitral valvuloplasty
Low-gradient aortic valve stenosis
Pitfalls of right heart hemodynamics
Aortic and pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty
Coronary hemodynamics for angioplasty and stenting
Hemodynamic evaluation of stenotic bioprosthetic mitral valves
Evaluation of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathies
Understanding cardiac pathophysiology from bedside hemodynamic study

Hemodynamic Rounds, Third Edition, is the only book on the market that specifically addresses comprehensive cardiac hemodynamic findings, reviewing blood pressure tracings collected from the cardiac catheterization lab on all aspects of cardiovascular disease, as well as normal cardiac function. It is an indispensable tool for all physicians, nurses, and students measuring and interpreting cardiac waveforms in cardiac diagnosis and monitoring.

From the Publisher:

Intended to help cardiologists intensify their understanding of human hemodynamics through the use of brief case examples incorporating different hemodynamic tracings. Also considers the factors responsible for normal and abnormal waveforms. Organized into chapters that focus on specific areas of the heart, new insight can be gained into how such conditions as changing cardiac rhythm, unusual contractile events, and the placement of catheters can affect intracardiac blood pressure.

Nonprofit Governance

Law, Practices & Trends

Bruce R. Hopkins

Virginia C. Gross

A complete analysis of the law, practices, and trends of nonprofit governance from two of the nation's leading lawyers on the law of tax-exempt organizations

Recent scandals in the charitable sector as well as the adoption of a myriad of nonprofit best practices and guidelines have created a need and demand for better governance of nonprofits. In Nonprofit Governance, renowned author Bruce R. Hopkins and his law partner, Virginia Gross, share their combined decades of legal expertise to provide a comprehensive, authoritative examination of the law, practices, and trends of nonprofit governance.

In this comprehensive, one-stop resource, Hopkins and Gross deftly summarize the law that exists and explain and evaluate the many good governance principles that have been promulgated. Nonprofit Governance helps leaders and managers of nonprofit organizations, and their lawyers, accountants, and advisors, to:

Understand the legal backdrop for nonprofit governance

Sift through the numerous good governance principles and guidelines

Select the ones that most appropriately apply to their particular organization

Devise suitable policies and procedures

Improve their operations and effectiveness

Undertake a comprehensive governance legal audit

Be in a position to file Forms 990 that cast them in the best possible light regarding nonprofit governance

Nonprofit Governance is a must-read for anyone facing good governance decisions in a nonprofit organization and is lost in the maze of conflicting principles, ever-increasing policies and procedures, murky law, and the intensity of the IRS in insisting on adoption of various principles in the absence of legal requirements for them.
