Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, and one of the first to be successfully repaired by congenital heart surgeons. Although "fixed", patients born with tetralogy of Fallot cannot be considered "cured". Improving survival and quality of life for this ever-increasing adult population will continue to challenge the current and future generations of cardiologists.

- Abstract
- Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, and one of the first to be successfully repaired by congenital heart surgeons. Although "fixed", patients born with tetralogy of Fallot cannot be considered "cured". Improving survival and quality of life for this ever-increasing adult population will continue to challenge the current and future generations of cardiologists. Adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot should be seen by a cardiologist specializing in the care of adults with congenital heart disease, to be monitored for late complications. They need to be checked regularly for any subsequent complications or disturbances of heart rhythm. This monograph is intended as both an introduction to the subject and a timely, comprehensive review, and will be welcomed by adult cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, internists, surgeons, obstetricians, and intensivists who wish to learn about the most recent discoveries and advances concerning tetralogy of fallot in adults. It will also be of interest to advanced undergraduates wanting to learn more about the subject.

- Introduction -- Anatomy of Tetralogy of Fallot -- Genetics -- Stem Cells and the Right Ventricle -- Pathophysiology in Tetralogy of Fallot -- Tetralogy of Fallot: Late Outcome -- Tetralogy of Fallot: the Failing Right Ventricle.-Imaging Evaluation -- Timing for RVOT Management -- Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve. -- Other Transcatheter Procedures.-- Surgical Pulmonary Valve Implantation -- Other Surgical Procedures -- Late Arrhythmias: Current Approaches -- Perioperative Right Ventricular Management.

- Abstract
- This book focuses on how ventricular assist devices (VADs) can help provide destination therapy for patients with terminal heart failure, one of the most serious diseases in the world today because of the tremendous number of patients, the high mortality rate, and the cost of care. One means of providing cardiological support for patients suffering from heart failure is with VADs, and more than 10,000 patients worldwide have now been implanted with these devices. Half of them already have lived more than one year, and 2,000 patients more than two years, after surgery. This improved survival means that we have reached a point where VADs can be used for destination therapy, not just for bridge-to-recovery or bridge-to-transplant. In view of the increasing number of patients with advanced-stage heart failure and the availability and longevity of transplanted hearts, VADs can solve many problems. In addition to providing information about the devices themselves, this book includes vital guidelines on long-term management and support of VAD-implanted patients' everyday lives.

- 1. Opportunities and Challenges for LVAD Therapy Now and in the Future -- 2. The State of Ventricular Assist Device Therapy Today -- 3. Older Destination Therapy Patient Selection -- 4. The Economics of Long-Term Ventricular Assist Device Therapy for Patients with End Stage Heart Failure -- 5. Improving Clinical Outcomes: A Targeted Approach -- 6. Transplant Versus VAD: Evolving and Future Perspectives -- 7. Strategies to Assess and Minimize Right Heart Failure after Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation -- 8. Innovation Update.

- 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.

- 1. Anatomy of the Myocardium in the Normal Left Ventricle -- 2. Normal Left Ventricular Dynamics: Contraction and Relaxation Patterns -- 3. Altered Left Ventricular Geometry in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy -- 4. Altered Ventricular Function in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy -- 5. Hemodynamics in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Left Ventricular Aneurysm Formation -- 6. Evolution of Techniques of Surgical Ventricular Restoration: From Linear Repair to Endoventricular Linear Patch Plasty -- 7. The Surgical Technique of Linear Endoventricular Patch Plasty -- 8. Surgical Ventricular Restoration by the Technique of Endoventricular Linear Patch Plasty: Long-Term Clinical Results -- 9. The Impact of Surgical Technique on Cardiac Hemodynamics Following Surgical Ventricular Restoration -- 10. Recent Controversies: To STICH or Not to STICH? -- 11. Role of Electrophysiological Testing, Intracardiac Defibrillator Implantation, and Concomitant Surgical Procedures in Patients with Left Ventricular Aneurysms Presenting with Ventricular Tachycardia -- 12. Role of Mitral Valve Surgery in Surgical Ventricular Restoration for Left Ventricular Aneurysms.
