Interventional Physiology in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab: Coronary Pressure and Flow in Clinical Practice describes in practical and compelling terms the application of measurements of pressure and flow made with sensor guidewires in the coronary arteries in patients in the cardiac catheterization lab. It is intended to help cardiologists and their staff further develop 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 thrombosis. Discussions of basic principles and concepts are enhanced throughout the book with case studies that clarify key aspects of pathophysiology and corresponding anatomy.
