Valvular Heart Disease – The Heart Valves
The heart has four chambers two of which collect blood called the atria and the other two namely the ventricles pump the collected blood out. There are four valves within your heart two of them, the mitral on the left and the tricuspid valve on the right connect the collecting chambers (the atria) to the pumping chambers( the ventricles) while the other two, the aortic on the left and pulmonary on the right are placed between the A ventricles and the great arteries. The valves open in the forward direction and act as trapdoors making sure that blood flows in only one direction through the heart. Any change in this function can cause a strain on the heart and result in valvular heart disease. The valves are made of thin leaflets which can be two in the case of the mitral valve and three in the rest of them. These leaflets are thin and made of elastic connective tissue. They can be damaged by diseases and altered flow patterns. The leaflets are supported in their function by thin strands of tissue that hold the valve to the Heart Muscle, these are called the chords. Any shortening or lengthening in them can lead to improper functioning of the valves and leaks.

Adam’s Heart: An Inspiring Story about One Man’s Fight Against Heart Disease $10.95 In the inspirational autobiography Adam”s Heart, author Adam Robinson shares his life-changing ordeal with heart disease.At the age of twenty-four, author Adam Robinson went in for a routine physical and was told that he had a heart condition. After deciding that it was better to put off the surgery to allow for advances in technology, Adam didn”t think much about his condition until he suffered from a heart attack at age twenty-nine. Days later he had open-heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. Adam recovered quickly and his heart was repaired-but not his mind. For many years Adam was on disability income, depressed and obese, and was in a tremendous amount of pain. But he finally made the conscious decision to get physically fit. He is now learning how to control the old habits that were harming his body, such as eating lots of fast food, drinking too much soda, and too many trips to the popular all-you-can-eat buffet lines.Even though he sometimes struggles to maintain his fitness regimen, Adam is strong in mind, body, and sprit. He has vowed to continue the fight to keep healthy, not only for himself, but also for the ones that he loves. |

Aging, Heart Disease, and Its Management: Facts and Controversies $76 As the “Baby Boom” generation joins the ranks of Americans already 65 or older (now 13% of the population), the need for physicians and gerontologists who understand cardiovascular disease in the elderly will become critical. In Aging, Heart Disease, and Its Management: Facts and Controversies, a panel of world renowned clinicians from the foremost academic institutions review the best therapies and surgical techniques available to provide quality care for the elderly cardiac patient, and highlight the controversial areas that require further research. Their survey details preventive therapies and the cardiovascular syndromes that disproportionately afflict the older individual, including arrhythmias (particularly atrial fibrillation), syncope, heart failure (particularly diastolic heart failure), and ischemic heart disease. They also delineate the surgical management of the heart patient, with discussions of postoperative management and its complications, and such specific operative procedures as coronary artery bypass grafting, valve surgery, pacemakers and defibrillators, and surgical management of heart failure. Additional chapters guide the clinician through the major nutritional, neurological, pharmacologic, psychiatric, ethical, and rehabilitation issues that contribute significantly to the quality of care of the elderly. Comprehensive and authoritative, Aging, Heart Disease, and Its Management: Facts and Controversies offers today’s clinicians not only an up-to-date survey of the latest therapies and surgical techniques available for treating the special cardiovascular problems of the elderly, but also an examination of those areas of medical controversy in need of further investigation. |

Aortic Root Surgery: The Biological Solution $129 The surgical treatment of the aortic valve and root disease, organic and ischemic mitral regurgitation, and endocarditis has made great strides. Still, there is the well-known dilemma: on the one hand the need for anticoagulation in patients with mechanical valves that otherwise guarantee long-term functioning and, on the other, the unpredictable durability of biological substitutes and of valve repair procedures which, per se, do not require anticoagulation. The choice of procedure is determined by factors such as patients’ age, metabolic and bleeding disorders, and bleeding preconditions, as well as such critical issues as the desire to bear children in young women.The book contains a collection of proceedings of The Berlin Heart Valve Symposium which was held in November 2008. It focuses on current surgical approaches to and evolving trends in aortic valve repair, aortic root and valve replacement with pulmonary autograft, aortic allograft, stentless and stented bioprostheses. Further contributions will deal with recent advances in catheter-based percutaneous and transapical techniques, ablation techniques for atrial fibrillation, tissue engineering of heart valves, multi-modality imaging, and anticoagulation. |

Crossing Wildcat Ridge $26.95 I am a country man, raised in the fields and woods of north-central Georgia. I do not care for cities, and so I live in the forest on a ridge over Wildcat Creek, a bold stream that flows, half a mile away, into the Oconee River….Our house is halfway down the ridge, just before it plummets sharply to the creek. I have found archaic chert scrapers on our property, more recent potsherds with intricate decorations. I say that we own these seven acres, but we’re really just passing through.With his opening lines Philip Lee Williams defines the territory of this intricate and lyrical memoir: life with his young family on the ridge, his coming of age, and the legacy of his southern family. That legacy, which includes a love of literature, a passion for music, and an insatiable curiosity about the natural world, also includes a defective heart valve.Crossing Wildcat Ridge combines the drama of Williams’s open-heart surgery with contemplative essays on the natural world. The gentle counterpoint between the two elements illuminates both in remarkable and profound ways. Confronting his mortality, the author struggles to determine his place in the world. His sober consideration of things left undone is juxtaposed with the contemplation of a mound of fire ants: There is no uncertainty in that world; each knows his job, doesn’t know why, can’t ask. None knows he will die . As the author slips into depression during his post-operative recovery, he studies the flora and fauna of the ridge, its lights and shadows, the dunes beneath the waters of the creek. With poetic imagery, he shares not only his crystalline observations of nature but also their healing effects — how he learns to receivethe gift of a mockingbird’s song, how the tracks of elusive woodland creatures bolster his faith in the existence of things we cannot see, how sensory memories reconnect him to the boy he was and the man he hopes to be.All thinking, feeling adults search for the right path to self- |
