MASTERING STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASE A COMPREHENSIVE AND IN-DEPTH GUIDE TO MANAGING THE TREATMENT OF STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASE In Mastering Structural Heart Disease, a team of distinguished experts in interventional cardiology deliver a complete and robust explanation of nearly all present-day structural heart disease devices, their appropriate uses, and technical tricks to help ensure treatment success. The text is written in a Socratic, “question-and-answer” format which is designed to help readers absorb and retain knowledge. Online clinical cases and vignettes supplement the material in the book, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject. The authors combine the latest techniques, devices, clinical research trials, future directions, and innovation ideas into a single, practical, and accessible study and practice resource. From transcatheter valvular interventions, interventions for selected adult congenital structural diseases, and a variety of other cardiac disorders that require intervention, readers will find coverage of the treatment of virtually every structural disease they’re likely to encounter in practice. They’ll also find: A thorough introduction to structural interventions for the aortic valve, including the natural history, hemodynamic assessment and transcatheter interventions Comprehensive explorations of structural interventions for the mitral valve, including imaging assessment and procedural planning with dedicated imaging tools prior to mitral valve edge to edge repair and transcatheter mitral valve replacement Practical discussions of structural interventions for the tricuspid and pulmonic valves, including intraprocedural imaging, devices and techniques Extensive treatments of structural interventions for the left atrial appendage and management of perivalvular leaks Complete discussion of the latest devices and techniques for pulmonary embolism interventions, renal denervation and mechanical support for structural interventions Perfect for interventional cardiologists, general cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons, Mastering Structural Heart Disease will also earn a place in the libraries of fellows in training and internists seeking a comprehensive guide to the management of structural heart disease.

Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals promotes active, team learning of interprofessional evidence-based practice (EBP). This book is distinctive in that it departs from the tradition of evidence-based practice occurring from a single disciplinary perspective. Interprofessional evidence-based practice is described in terms of a dynamic team process that blends the patient’s preferences and values, the expertise of practitioners from multiple disciplines, and incorporates multidisciplinary evidence. Teams learn to use the nine phases in the interprofessional process to challenge current disciplinary paradigms and biases to create an integrated approach to patient care, healthcare delivery, or population health. Drs. Penelope Moyers and Patricia Finch Guthrie focus on developing and fostering collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare organizations so that students and faculty participate on interprofessional teams with mentors and staff from a healthcare organization. Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals also addresses the communication and cross-organizational factors important for supporting the work of the team. Common team and mentoring issues encountered in EBP are clearly articulated, along with the iterative problem-solving approaches necessary to mitigate temporary “stumbling blocks.” The book provides detail for developing and launching an Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice program that goes beyond the evidence process to include implementation science to support practice change. Approaches for developing partnerships for supporting this type of program between universities and health care institutions are contained within, including sample partnership agreements and resource-sharing strategies. Inside Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals, each chapter includes performance objectives, key words, checklists, and materials and resources that an interprofessional team can use. PowerPoint lectures, mentor newsletters, forms, tools, and other resources are included on a companion website to guide team learning about key EBP topics, as well as to support the program coordinators and team mentors in their work with the interprofessional teams. Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals is the go-to resource for those who want to engage in interprofessional evidence-based practice, and for leaders who want to develop and implement an interprofessional evidence-based practice program.
