Hemodynamic Rounds: Interpretation of Cardiac Pathophysiology from Pressure Waveform Analysis 4th Edition, Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

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

Hemodynamic Rounds, Fourth Edition is intended to help cardiologists, cardiovascular fellowship trainees, residents and other members of the medical community enhance their understanding of cardiac physiology and its associated hemodynamic presentations in health and disease. This includes 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 TAVI and valvuloplasty to stent placement.

Like its popular predecessors, this new edition draws on case studies to illustrate characteristic cardiac hemodynamic findings and discusses 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 pathophysiologic conditions, and hemodynamic situations resulting from different therapeutic procedures. It includes discussions of both normal and abnormal pressure waveforms. This new edition has been revised throughout to include brand new content on aortic and mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation as well as TAVI and mitral clip hemodynamics. Highlights include:

  • Essential and easy to understand resource for those required to interpret cardiac blood flow and blood pressure tracings
  • Covers hemodynamic assessment by cardiac disorder, plus the bedside applications of hemodynamics
  • Revised throughout and includes brand new content on valve stenosis and regurgitation and TAVI and mitral clip hemodynamics

Hemodynamic Rounds: Interpretation of Cardiac Pathophysiology from Pressure Waveform Analysis, Fourth Edition is an indispensable tool for all physicians, nurses, and students responsible for measuring and interpreting cardiac waveforms in cardiac diagnosis and monitoring.

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021
This book covers an essential topic in medicine, however the execution results in a frustrating read. The figures are distractingly low quality. When discussing similar waveforms that are nearly overlapping, having a black and white figure is inexcusable and leads to unecessary barriers in comprehension. Many of the figures are clearly low resolution photographs of old tracings, with scale lines intermittently visible. The narrative of each topic is unnecessarily cluttered with irrelevant detail. The clinical vignettes have distracting information that is unrelated to the hemodynamic picture. For example, in the aortic insufficiency chapter, rather than discussing a clinical vignette of pure, chronic AI, the authors elected to discuss a mixed picture of aortic stenosis and regurgitation, which muddies the hemodynamic picture. While this is relevant, it detracts from instruction on the physiology of chronic aortic insufficiency.

I cannot stress enough how annoying the figures are. When presenting equations, they use prose and slashes rather than the more clear and standard numerator/denominator (depicted above one another) found in every other text I have read. Images of spectral doppler tracings look as though they were taken in from the earliest days of echocardiography, rather than high resolution images from a current echo. I just cannot understand the editorial decision to use monochromatic figures when in every cath lab everywhere, the tracings are clearly delineated by different colors for easy distinction.

This book is an irritating read, and you would find equivalent information, presented in a more readable fashion elsewhere.

Bought this book to learn more regarding cath wave forms. This week, I've only been able to make it through the first two chapters and am quite frustrated with the text. It is quite difficult to follow in several aspects. One of the major issues is their reference to the figures. They will either refer to items not present in the figures, refer to them by the wrong number, or refer to figures on other pages. They will mention a "yellow line" in a black and white print out. The narrative is also difficult to follow. They will start by giving a partial description of basic physiology, then give a case example that's not clearly related to what they are describing. There is some insight to be gained, but it comes at great cost to your patience. I'm hoping the book gets better, but not sure I can hold out for much longer.
