The major impetus for the design and execution of "Constrictive Pericarditis and Cardiac Tamponade: Epidemiology, Causes and Management" has been the remarkable advances in the diagnosis and management of constrictive pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. Recent advances in cardiac imaging including tissue Doppler imaging and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have allowed more precise and early diagnosis of pericardial diseases. Furthermore, novel pharmacologic strategies to prevent progression of acute pericarditis to chronic pericarditis to constrictive pericarditis may limit its debilitating complications.
The book is designed to summarize and analyze critically the current state of this area for a broad audience of internists and cardiologists.
