Cardiology refers to a field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of heart and cardiovascular system such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, congenital heart defects, and arrhythmia. The major behavioral risk factors for stroke and cardiovascular diseases include physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, and the usage of tobacco products and alcohol. Tests like cardiovascular computerized tomography (CT) scans, echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. The treatment of cardiovascular diseases depends on the severity of the disease, and it usually requires that the people suffering from such cardiac diseases modify their lifestyle. Additionally, they may also be required to take medications to control the disease and may have to undergo specific medical procedures and surgery. This book unravels the translational and clinical researches in the field of cardiology. It details some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around this domain. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
