Hemodynamic Rounds - Softcover

Kern, Morton J.

 
9780471588252: Hemodynamic Rounds

Synopsis

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.

From the Inside Flap

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.

From the Back Cover

This new edition of Hemodynamic Rounds provides an expanded series of case studies demonstrating the importance of hemodynamic measurements in understanding cardiac pathology.

As with its popular predecessor, Hemodynamic Rounds, Second Edition provides numerous brief case examples incorporating different hemodynamic tracings and considers for each the factors responsible for producing those waveforms. 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. The new sections include:
* Mitral stenosis and pulsus alterations
* Low-gradient aortic valve stenosis
* Pitfalls of right heart hemodynamics
* Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty
* Coronary hemodynamics for angioplasty and stenting after myocardial infarction
* Hemodynamic evaluation of stenotic bioprosthetic mitral valves

Hemodynamic Rounds, Second Edition will be an invaluable resource for invasive cardiologists, cardiology residents, cardiac nurses, and catheterization technicians.

INTERVENTIONAL PHYSIOLOGY ROUNDS

Case Studies in Coronary Pressure and Flow for Clinical Practice

This book is intended to help cardiologists enhance their understanding of interventional coronary physiology, including the basic principles of flow and pressure measurements; coronary hemodynamics in normal and diseased states; and changes in blood flow following interventional procedures ranging from angioplasty and stent placement to atherectomy and coronary thrombolysis.
