"Aortic Valve" ed. by Ying-Fu Chen and Chwan-Yau Luo

This book covers basic science, general consideration of aortic valve disease, infective endocarditis, aortic sclerosis and aortic stenosis, bioprosthetic valve, transcatheter aortic valve implantation and a special section on congenital anomalies of the aortic valve. The book will be particularly useful to cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons and trainees, and will be a valuable resource for radiologists, pathologists, cardiovascular anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals who have a special interest in treating patients with aortic valve disease.

Information in this book will help to provide virtually most new areas of aortic valve disease that will be employed in the current era.
