Clinical Aspects of Cardiovascular Surgery

Cardiovascular surgery is developing very rapidly. Certain priorities are also changing. However, technological advancement cannot and should not replace the knowledge of the clinical foundations of the specialty. Surgery is intended to improve the quality of life of a person,... not to bring individual clinical-morphological parameters to conditional norms. The goal of this publication is to remind about the clinical aspects of cardiovascular surgery, the presence of not only instrumental data but also the possibility of conducting functional tests that provide a qualitative assessment of the patient's condition. The book is intended for novice and experienced cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, listeners of the continuing education system, graduate students, and medical university students.
