Rare Cardiovascular Diseases, An Issue of Heart Failure Clinics (Volume 18-1) (The Clinics: Internal Medicine, Volume 18-1)

By Giuseppe Limongelli MD PhD, Eduardo Bossone

Rare cardiovascular diseases are often overlooked due to their infrequency, but they still need to be studied and understood in-depth as they can have a significant impact on the people who suffer from them. That’s where the latest issue of Heart Failure Clinics comes in. Edited by Giuseppe Limongelli MD PhD and Eduardo Bossone, this issue is entirely focused on rare cardiovascular diseases and presents the latest information on these unique diseases, under the leadership of experienced editors in the field.

In this issue, with 17 relevant and practical topics, top experts in the field provide in-depth clinical reviews of rare cardiovascular diseases. The topics included in this issue cover a variety of rare cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary artery dissection, genetics in congenital heart disease, HCM in Rasopathies, and more. The book presents the latest research and practice guidelines distilled into timely topic-based reviews, all of which are intended to provide actionable insights for clinical practice.

One of the topics discussed in this issue is the influence of genotype on the phenotype, clinical course, and risk of adverse events in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare disease that causes the heart muscle to thicken, which can lead to complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Researchers are continually trying to understand the genetic causes of the disease to develop better treatments. Another relevant topic in this issue is about the risk of sudden cardiac death in children, where epidemiology, clinical causes, and prevention are discussed extensively.

One segment, in particular, stands out from the others: “Unravelling the genetic background in heritable and non-heritable BAV: a long roadmap.” BAV, or bicuspid aortic valve, is a condition where the aortic valve only has two leaflets instead of three. This condition can lead to complications such as aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. The authors of this section explore the genetic background of BAV and the process of identifying the genes that could cause it.

The renal involvement in patients with storage and infiltrative cardiomyopathies is also discussed in this issue. Storage and infiltrative cardiomyopathies are rare diseases that occur when abnormal substances build up in the heart tissue, leading to heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications. Renal involvement in these conditions is one of the significant complications which intensifies the disease’s effect on the body, and the authors examine these factors in detail.

The book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding rare cardiovascular diseases. Whether you’re a medical professional, a researcher, or just interested in the subject, you’ll find this issue of Heart Failure Clinics to be a worthy addition to your library.

The book is published by Elsevier and comes in ebook format with 240 pages. It is available in English, with ISBN-10: 0323919871 and ISBN-13: 978-0323919876. Anyone who is interested in this issue can order this book from various online platforms and bookstores.

In conclusion, the latest issue of Heart Failure Clinics is a fascinating read that provides insightful and valuable information in the field of cardiovascular diseases. The topics presented in the book cover a wide range of rare cardiovascular diseases and are written by top experts in the field. It is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in the field. So, if you are interested in rare cardiovascular diseases, go ahead and order a copy of this book, as it’s sure to be an excellent addition to your reading list.
