MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Focuses primarily on aortic and mitral valve disease.
Special attention devoted to optimal timing and the role of echocardiography to assess prosthetic valve function and dysfunction.
Discusses techniques for aortic valve surgery and choosing valve replacement devices.
Part of the series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine
