Valvular Heart Disease: Principles and Practice for the Transcatheter Era: A Comprehensive, Standalone Clinical Reference for Cardiologists and Fellows

Your patient's echocardiogram just came back. Do you know the number needed to treat, or just the guideline class?

Most valvular heart disease references were written to sit beside a separate, larger cardiology textbook — which means the anatomy, the hemodynamics, and the foundational physiology you actually need at 11 p.m. on call are assumed knowledge, not covered content. And most compress an entire, fast-moving field into a small number of broad chapters, leaving the granular, point-of-care questions — the exact NNT for early intervention, the special-population adjustment, the bedside symptom that doesn't fit the textbook case — to guesswork.

Valvular Heart Disease: Principles and Practice for the Transcatheter Era is different by design. It is a fully standalone, 40-chapter clinical reference built specifically — and only — for valvular heart disease, current through the 2025–2026 transcatheter evidence cycle.

What's inside:
40 in-depth core chapters across foundations, diagnostics, bedside symptom evaluation, disease-specific management, interventional/surgical therapy, and longitudinal special-population care
Every chapter stands alone — no second textbook required to understand the anatomy, hemodynamics, or physiology behind any topic
NNT/NNH-quantified evidence for every major therapy comparison, with trials named explicitly, not just cited by guideline class
PRACTICE POINT callout boxes and realistic case vignettes in every chapter, translating evidence into the specific next action
Full ACC/AHA/ESC guideline currency , plus procedural depth on TAVR, TEER, transcatheter tricuspid intervention, and surgical technique
Special-populations guidance built into every disease chapter — elderly/frail, renal impairment, pregnancy — not relegated to a single afterthought chapter
5 bonus online appendix chapters covering global perspectives, program economics, board competencies, ethics cases, and emerging technology

Written for cardiology fellows building foundational competence and practicing cardiologists who need a fast, trustworthy point-of-care reference — accurate enough to act on, complete enough to answer the question that sent you looking.
