With the medical device industry growing at an incredible pace, and the overall understanding of the molecular basis for disease on the rise, today’s bio-medical engineers face a constant challenge to re-tool or reinvent devices thatremain in step with medical science. In Handbook of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology, and Devices, Second Edition, leading experts from the University of Minnesota’s renowned Lillehei Heart Institute and scientists from Medtronic, Inc. have thoroughly updated and expanded upon the critically acclaimed first editionwith the latest information on the anatomic features, underlying physiologic mechanisms, and treatments for diseases of the heart. Key chapters address animal models for cardiac research, cardiac mapping systems, heart-valve disease,and genomics-based tools and technology. Once again, companion compact disks offer unique insights into the working heart, providing color images and movies that enhance the understanding of key points within the text. Contains a companion CD with videos of the Visible Heart®, a visualization of functional cardiac anatomy jointly developed by the University of Minnesota and the Cardiac Rhythm Management Division at Medtronic, Inc. Exhaustive review of the latest medical devices for diseases of the heart, written by leading experts from Lillehei Heart Institute and scientists from Medtronic, Inc.
