Abstract

Following a transmural myocardial infarctions (MI), the resultant dilated, aneurismal  ventricle can make patient management difficult in those ineligible for cardiac transplantation. This mechanical complication leads to refractory heart failure and continues to be  a persisting  problem for clinical management in both the developed and developing countries of the world. It continues to exist despite improvements in door to needle time for primary coronary interventions. There has been increased interest in potential surgical techniques involved in the palliation of ventricular pathology post-MI. The process of cardiac remodeling has been studied extensively, and recent surgical techniques for ventricular restoration have proven late adverse remodeling. Surgical techniques for  ventricular restoration of these adversely remodeled ventricles aimed at restoring a near normal ventricular geometry consequently have a continuing role in the management of this difficult subset of patients. Ventricular Geometry in Post-Myocardial Infarction Aneurysms: Implications for Surgical Ventricular Restoration provides cardiac surgeons and cardiologists  a definitive perspective of optimal surgical ventricular restoration in patients with advanced heart failure due to large ventricular aneurysms following transmural myocardial infarctions. The authors review  normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy following post myocardial infarction and physiology, with focus on the evolution of surgical techniques aimed  at establishing  an ellipsoid ventricular shape, resulting in near-normal physiological hemodynamics evident at long term.

Abstract

This volume of the Subcellular Biochemistry series is devoted to the aggregation and fibrillogenesis of the amyloid-forming peptides and proteins, including emphasis on oligomer formation as well as fibril formation. The diverse topics included here are presented within 22 chapters, covering many of the relevant topics from both a basic science and clinical perspective. The authorship of these chapters is thoroughly international, with authoritative contributions from active researchers. Fundamental structural and cellular studies using many different technical approaches are presented, leading through to clinical and therapeutic aspects of the amyloid diseases, considered from both pharmaceutical and natural product view points. It is hoped that this book will be of use to both biomedical scientists and clinicians wishing to keep abreast of this rapidly advancing field, of direct importance to the understanding of cerebral neurodegenerative disease and systemic amyloid disease.
