Abstract

The investigation and treatment of hypertension, a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease throughout the world, remains a challenge, even in developed countries. Although antihypertensives have been available for 50 years, the rational and effective use of the myriad of existing drugs remains a concern, as does the desire to identify patients with secondary hypertension from the mass of individuals with primary or essential hypertension. The aim of this handbook is to provide state-of-the-art information concerning the pathophysiology, diagnosis, investigation and management of hyperte

Abstract

"Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, affecting nearly one in three Americans. It is prevalent in adults and endemic in the older adult population. Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and disability. Although there is a simple test to diagnose hypertension and relatively inexpensive drugs to treat it, the disease is often undiagnosed and uncontrolled. A Population-Based Policy and Systems Change Approach to the Prevention and Control Hypertension identifies a small set of high-priority areas in which public health officials can focus their efforts to accelerate progress in hypertension reduction and control. It offers several recommendations that embody a population-based approach grounded in the principles of measurement, system change, and accountability. The recommendations are designed to shift current hypertension reduction strategies from an individual-based approach to a population-based approach. They are also designed to improve the quality of care provided to individuals with hypertension and to strengthen the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's leadership in seeking a reduction in the sodium intake in the American diet to meet dietary guidelines. The book is an important resource for federal public health officials and organizations, especially the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as medical professionals and community health workers."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Le choc cardiogénique réfractaire est la cause de très nombreux décès dans les services de soins intensifs de cardiologie et de réanimation. Depuis quelques années pourtant, certains patients ont survécu à ce pronostic grâce à la mise en place d'une assistance circulatoire mécanique externe temporaire par circulation extracorporelle (ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation ou ECMO, Extracorporeal Life support ou ECLS). Bien que disponible depuis plusieurs décennies, l'ECMO était associée à de nombreuses complications et à une durée de vie courte des circuits de circulation extracorporelle. D'importants, et nécessaires progrès technologiques, l'ont remise au goût du jour à la fin des années 90. Urgentistes, réanimateurs, cardiologues et chirurgiens cardiothoraciques doivent désormais l'intégrer dans leur stratégie thérapeutique. Cette circulation extracorporelle, sortie du bloc opératoire et de longue durée - quelques jours à plusieurs semaines - permet de réduire la mortalité. Elle nécessite un personnel formé et motivé, un réseau de prise en charge ainsi que des protocoles et du matériel disponible en permanence. La défaillance respiratoire réfractaire au traitement médical optimal et à une stratégie de ventilation optimisée sera vraisemblablement une indication d'ECMO dans les années futures, après validation par des essais thérapeutiques en cours. Cet ouvrage est le premier en langue française dédié à cet outil de réanimation. Les auteurs exposent le principe de fonctionnement et le matériel nécessaire, les techniques de pose, la surveillance spécifique de ces patients, les différentes indications. Ce livre se veut résolument pratique et didactique. L'objectif est de permettre aux équipes soignantes - médicales et paramédicales - une prise en charge adaptée à ces nouveaux patients et une réponse à leurs questions.

Abstract

The microcirculation is highly responsive to, and a vital participant in, the inflammatory response. All segments of the microvasculature (arterioles, capillaries, and venules) exhibit characteristic phenotypic changes during inflammation that appear to be directed toward enhancing the delivery of inflammatory cells to the injured/infected tissue, isolating the region from healthy tissue and the systemic circulation, and setting the stage for tissue repair and regeneration. The best characterized responses of the microcirculation to inflammation include impaired vasomotor function, reduced capillary perfusion, adhesion of leukocytes and platelets, activation of the coagulation cascade, and enhanced thrombosis, increased vascular permeability, and an increase in the rate of proliferation of blood and lymphatic vessels. A variety of cells that normally circulate in blood (leukocytes, platelets) or reside within the vessel wall (endothelial cells, pericytes) or in the perivascular space (mast cells, macrophages) are activated in response to inflammation. The activation products and chemical mediators released from these cells act through different well-characterized signaling pathways to induce the phenotypic changes in microvessel function that accompany inflammation. Drugs that target a specific microvascular response to inflammation, such as leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion or angiogenesis, have shown promise in both the preclinical and clinical studies of inflammatory disease. Future research efforts in this area will likely identify new avenues for therapeutic intervention in inflammation.
