Cardiovascular Pathology, Fifth Edition provides a comprehensive treatise on the pathology of cardiovascular diseases, combining presentations of detailed pathology of cardiovascular diseases coupled with contemporary insights into etiology and pathogenesis. Twenty-two chapters cover general topics, including cardiovascular genetics, heart failure, and transplantation, and specific congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases, therapeutic interventions, and forensic aspects. New chapters address the scope of practice and training in cardiovascular pathology, with a focus on major diagnostic approaches used in contemporary practice and research in cardiovascular pathology, and a perspective on the field of cardiovascular regenerative medicine linked to the basic pathobiology of cell-based therapy. The book provides a unique combination of details of pathological anatomy essential for pathologists involved in the evaluation of cardiovascular specimens and cardiovascular diseases, and is an excellent reference for anyone interested in the natural history and therapeutic advances in the cardiovascular field. - Includes expanded coverage of diagnostic guidelines, standards and normal values - Provides a summary of cardiac catheterization laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests to guide pathologists in clinicopathological correlation - Presents a contemporary, all-inclusive guide to cardiovascular pathology for clinicians and researchers, as well as clinical residents and fellows in pathology, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and internal medicine - Provides comprehensive coverage, including, when appropriate, Central Concept Figure, Definition, Epidemiology, Clinical Presentation, Pathogenesis, Molecular Genetics, Light and Electron Microscopy, Immunohistochemistry, Differential Diagnosis, Treatment and Potential Complications, and a Bulleted Summary
