Myocardial protection is regarded as one of the most important, yet
also most controversial aspects of cardiac surgery. There has been
considerable improvement in myocardial protection strategies over
recent years, utilising a variety of new approaches to treat
cardiac diseases, and this text is intended to embrace the state of
the art in this field.
The book summarises the state of knowledge on all aspects of
myocardial protection, including the latest in the treatment of
cardiac diseases, robotics, pediatric surgery and the treatment of
cardiac failure. Robotic surgery, valvular surgery, pediatric
surgery and coronary surgery are all covered by renowned experts,
producing a comprehensive, forward-looking view of the field of
myocardial protection. This book should function to update
physicians and surgeons interested in the field of cardiac surgery
on the current state of knowledge on myocardial protection.
